The Center for the Art of Translation broadens cultural understanding through international literature and translation, with programs in publishing, teaching, and public events. The Center aims to make global voices and great literature accessible to readers and communities through three programs: Two Lines Press, publishing international literature in translation; the Poetry Inside Out education program; and Two Voices, an event series spotlighting international writers and translators. Two Lines Press specializes in exceptional new writing and classics that have not previously been translated into English. For nineteen years, Two Lines has filled a gap in contemporary publishing, showcasing literature from over seventy languages and giving readers access to renowned and emerging writers from around the world. Poetry Inside Out fosters imagination and builds students’ problem solving, critical thinking, and literacy skills through the translation and composition of poetry. The innovative curriculum educates, enlightens, and enhances students’ skills and academic performance. Since 2000 PIO has worked with more than 7,000 students and teachers via in-school residencies and professional development. Two Voices events spotlight international literature and the art of translation. The programs—from poetic recitals to theatrical readings—bring world-class writers and translators to Bay Area audiences.
