Submit a TRANSLATION FOLIO in POETRY to Copper Nickel

Overview
Copper Nickel, the literary journal of the University of Colorado Denver, has established itself as a vital venue for poetry, fiction, and translation. Its commitment to translation is evident in its regular inclusion of translated work and its collaboration with the American Literary Translators Association. The journal seeks to present poetry from around the world in English translation, offering readers access to voices that might otherwise remain unheard. The submission call is for a folio of up to eight translated poems. This format allows translators to present a cohesive body of work, giving readers a sustained encounter with a poet's oeuvre. Upon acceptance, Copper Nickel requests an 800-1200 word contextualizing translator's introduction, underscoring the journal's dedication to situating translated work within its cultural and literary context. This introduction is not merely a formality; it is an integral part of the presentation, offering insight into the translator's choices and the poet's milieu. The reading period runs from August 15 to December 1 and January 15 to March 1. A submission fee of $3.00 (USD) applies. Copper Nickel's editorial vision is one of literary rigor and global curiosity, making it a fitting home for translations that demonstrate both linguistic precision and poetic resonance.
