“It is the task of the translator to release in his own language that pure language that is under the spell of another, to liberate the language imprisoned in a work in his re-creation of that work.”
— Walter Benjamin
The Trinity Journal of Literary Translation (JoLT) is a non-profit literary publication in Trinity College Dublin. It showcases writing in translation by Trinity students, staff, and alumni, as well as members of the wider community. It is Ireland’s only literary journal dedicated exclusively to translation and in the past has featured texts written in Albanian, Japanese, Kurdish, Czech, Hindi, Ancient Greek, and more. We encourage submissions of translated works of fiction, memoir and poetry from any language into English/Irish (or vice versa).
The magazine was founded in 2013 by Claudio Sansone and is published twice yearly. Former editors include Andrew Beazley, Rory O’Sullivan, Clare Healy, Martina Giambanco, Cian Dunne, Anastasia Fedosova and Eoghan Conway. The current editor is Julianna Zarnowska.
