Solstice: A Magazine of Diverse Voices — Poetry in Translation

Overview
Solstice is a literary magazine committed to presenting diverse voices, and its Poetry in Translation category extends that mission to work from beyond English. The journal seeks new translations of poems from around the world, offering translators a dedicated space for their craft. This is not a contest but an open call for general submissions, with no prize attached; the reward is publication in a magazine that values global literary exchange. The guidelines are precise: translators must secure all rights to translate original work unless it is in the public domain, and they should be prepared to provide copyright proof. Up to four poems may be submitted, single-spaced in 12-point type, all within one document. A $3 fee applies. The deadline is June 2, 2027. Solstice's curatorial vision centers on diversity—of voices, languages, and perspectives. By welcoming translations, the magazine positions itself as a conduit for poetry that might otherwise remain inaccessible to English-language readers. Translators are thus invited to act as literary ambassadors, bringing essential work into a new context.
