Circumference
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
Circumference was founded in 2003 as a journal for poetry in translation. We believe translation is a vital part of public and artistic discourse, and we envision Circumference as a home for writers, artists, poets, and translators who share a deep interest in the world.
For our Summer 2023 issue and our website, we’re interested in new translations of poetry and drama, particularly (but not exclusively) from contemporary authors. We’re also looking for interviews and dialogues between artists and thinkers of all stripes, and profiles or long-form writing that shed light on literary and artistic praxis around the world. We’re particularly keen on submissions of translations from non-European languages.
We publish all poems in their original languages alongside their translations. We pay you for your work.
