In this landmark year, we wanted to say an enormous thank you to all the poets, translators, audiences and generous donors who have been a part of the PTC’s first twenty years. We hope to see and celebrate as many of you as possible in 2024, and beyond.

We also want to thank our funders Arts Council England and the T. S. Eliot Foundation, and the many, many partner organisations who are working with us to make 2024 a year to remember:

  • for our Exile and Arrival Showcase, the National Centre for Writing, red herring press, ICORN Malmo, Dawit Izaak Library, and Världspoesidagen;

  • for our Women and Non-binary Poets Showcase, New Writing North, Poet in the City, Newcastle Poetry Festival and Out of Your Head;

  • for our Latinx Showcase, Ledbury Poetry Festival, the British Library, Un Nuevo Sol, Latin America House and the University of San Andrés;

  • for our Somali Showcase, Kayd Somali Arts and Culture, Off the Shelf Festival, Israac Somali Community Organisation and Hargeysa Cultural Centre;

  • and for The Future is Now Showcase, Manchester Poetry Library, Singapore Writers’ Festival and SingLit Station.

Finally, we want to honour Sarah Maguire, our founder and first director. Without Sarah, the Poetry Translation Centre would not exist, and the UK poetry translation sector would be much poorer. Thank you to Sarah, and to everyone who was involved in our inception twenty years ago.

We can’t wait to see you in 2024.
