Translation Project
by HCCC's Poetry and Language Collective
Translation Project Mission
The HCCC Poetry and Language Collective is looking for creative work in any non-English language to translate and publish. This is an opportunity to express yourself through language and to see that work translated into English. Submissions can be sent to poetry@hccc.edu, submitted through the form below, or dropped off in-person at any HCCC Library circulation desk.
Examples
You can write whatever you’d like, but there are some sample prompts below if you need some help getting started.
Here are some sample prompts:
Write 4 or more words that describe how you are feeling.
Examples:
I feel great joy
empty thin light dark
Write a piece divided into lines.
Example:
As I woke up this morning
I sipped hot coffee.
The sunlight hit my face,
Warming me too.
Write something complex or strange.
Example:
Oh I hate to take the
Stairs with each step I
Remember – Good God
I’m getting older and older
And older – my knees crack
So loud they make an echo
In the stairwell – snap snap snap
