Our table at the book fair will be home to our Two Lines Press(opens in a new tab) & CAT staff, who will be answering your questions about any of our titles. And if you’re looking to take home a ton of new books—fear not! With the purchase of 3 books, we’ll be giving out our 10th Anniversary tote bags for you to carry all your newly acquired literary ephemera.
For those who are hoping to learn more about the world of translation, we’re here to help you fill those specialty tote bags with international literature. Below, we’ve compiled a list (complete with links to the full event listings!) of translation-related panels happening at AWP.
