Newcastle Poetry Festival 2024:

Both women in translation and women translators have long been underrepresented in publishing. In 2018, less than one third of books translated into English were by women. So we’re celebrating two leading poets from Tbilisi, Georgia, and their three collaborative translators.

This event may cover themes including violence against women, sex and desire. All are welcome but age 14+ recommended. This event is presented by the Poetry Translation Centre, celebrating its 20th birthday across the UK and beyond throughout 2024, and supported by Arts Council England.
