Two Lines 29 World Writing in Translation

Two Lines continues its two decades’ of excellence, hand-picking the best from translation’s acknowledged masters and world literature’s up-and-comers. This latest issue is headlined by a special folio of new Japanese poetry—over 60 pages of incredible new poetry from Japan! Ranging from reinventions of classic Japanese forms to vital responses to the Fukushima disaster, the writing in this special section shows Japan's relevance to global readers. There is also remarkable new writing from Iran, a tense piece of short fiction from France exploring boundaries of race and gender, and bizarre new sci-fi from the Dominican Republic. As ever, with its 29th issue Two Lines continues to serve its years-long feast for globally minded readers.
