Modern Poetry in Translation is an English poetry magazine founded in 1965 by Ted Hughes and Daniel Weissbort with two objectives: to take poetry beyond the Iron Curtain and to introduce English and American authors to new texts from all over the world, translated into English.
Since then the magazine, which is in all respects a book of poems with some technical insights for authors and translators, has collected contributions from all over the world by translating them into English. Inside we find only contemporary poetry, searching for the best discoveries and the most representative pens of a single nation for each issue.
