Modern Poetry in Translation
Due to current restrictions, this exhibition will no longer be showing in March, but we hope to re-schedule it for later in the year.
Inspired by their recent collaboration on MPT’s Czech poetry issue, our friends at Modern Poetry in Translation and the Czech Literary Centre have raided their archives. This exhibition, curated by Jan Zikmund and Clare Pollard with the help of the library at Queens College, Oxford, who hold the MPT archive, paints a vivid picture of the early years of Britain’s foremost poetry translation magazine, with a particular focus on the journal’s relationship with Central and Eastern Europe, to mark StAnza 2021’s Beyond the Iron Curtain translation focus.
