About the Center for the Art of Translation

The Center for the Art of Translation promotes international literature and translation through publishing, teaching, and public events. The Center is the parent organization of TWO LINES World Writing in Translation, Lit&Lunch, and Poetry Inside Out.

The Center for the Art of Translation evolved out of the internationally acclaimed publication TWO LINES World Writing in Translation, which was established in 1994. Since its founding, the Center has expanded its Publishing Program beyond the publication of TWO LINES World Writing in Translation to include public readings of international literature as well as symposia and lectures on the art of translation.

The Center also launched its Education Program with Poetry Inside Out, a poetry and translation-based creative writing program serving students in elementary and middle schools throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Lit&Lunch, which debuted in 2006, is an innovative series spotlighting international writers and translators. It offers the chance for vital cultural exchange at monthly readings in downtown San Francisco.

For more information, please see the Programs page.
