Making Literature Travel

Circumference is a print and online journal whose mission is to support poetry in translation; primarily translations of new work from around the globe, new visions of classical poems, translations of foreign language poets of the past who have fallen under the radar of American readers, and pieces that illuminate translation as a vibrant, necessary interaction. Through their website they facilitate conversations about international literature and translation in real-time, and promote dialogues that enliven our sense of what it means to bring new work into English. The print journal is published annually with originals published “en-face” with their English translations.
