The Poetry Translation Centre is a brand dedicated to giving new life to the best poems from Africa, Asia, and Latin America in the English language. Founded in 2004 by poet Sarah Maguire, the centre aims to introduce new audiences to poets from around the world and celebrate the diverse communities that have made the UK their home. Working collaboratively with poets and translators, they bring new poetic works to English-speaking audiences through workshops and partnerships.

Their website serves as a free archive of international poetry, providing translations alongside the original language text and notes on the translation process. The centre also publishes chapbooks and anthologies with Bloodaxe Books and organizes tours featuring international poets. By enriching the English poetic tradition and promoting cultural exchange, the Poetry Translation Centre encourages friendships across borders and highlights the diverse literary traditions in the UK.
