The Center for the Art of Translation broadens cultural understanding through international literature and translation, with programs in publishing, teaching, and public events.

We aim to make global voices and great literature accessible to readers and communities through our three programs: TWO LINES publications; the Poetry Inside Out educational program; and the Two Voices event series spotlighting international writers and translators. The Center promotes translation and world writing as a vital bridge not just between languages, but between people.

The Center was incorporated in 2000 to serve a diverse community of globally minded individuals%u2014readers of international literature, translators, teachers, and students in the U.S. and worldwide.
