How would you translate a poem? Join translator Ibrahim Hirsi and poet-translator Mymona Bibi for a unique poetry translation workshop that faces this impossible question. Led by these experts, you’ll collaborate with other participants to explore the art of translation and create a group translation of a poem from Somali into English. No experience of Somali, translation or even poetry is necessary. The group’s version will be published on the Poetry Translation Centre website, joining an international archive of hundreds of poems.

No writing experience needed.
