Editorial Focus

The journal is called Telephone, like the children’s game in which phrases change as you whisper them from one person to the next. We feature a handful of poems from one foreign poet in each issue, which are then translated roughly ten times by multiple different poets and translators. There are no rules about how each poem should be translated and we are hoping to solicit a variety of interpretations.

Tips From the Editor

Please do not send unsolicited translations. Please contact us if you are interested in participating in an issue of Telephone.
