lexicon

Lexicon is our wiki project for translation poetry. While it has started out with work from flipped eye authors (due to the easier path to rights clearance) we are currently looking at collaborations with other publishing houses and organisations. We launched the lexEYEcon translation wiki project to mark our seventh anniversary in May 2008 in response to readers who have expressed the desire to read the work of our poets in other languages. Of course we would like to do the same for fiction, but we only just started publishing fiction so that will have to wait. The good thing is, by the time we decide to do something similar for fiction we will have (hopefully) a good network of our reader/translators from this initiative. We look forward to seeing how this project unfolds and hope that you will enjoy being part of a new paradigm in the dissemination of literature »»
