With support from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Translating Migration brings together the voices of migrant poets globally with the goal of expanding opportunities for creative expression. Migrants are invited to submit their original poetry for publication, which will be reviewed and translated by established poets and translators. Poets selected will receive also funding and assistance to organize a poetry workshop for migrants in their communities.

Poetry submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.

Eligibility:

Anyone who identifies as a migrant is welcome to submit poetry.

Poetry submitted must be original and unpublished work.

Poetry may be submitted in any language and, if selected, will be translated into English for publication.

Visit translatingmigration.com for more info & to submit. Email info@translatingmigration.com with any questions.
  








It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
— JRR Tolkien
