this reminds me I should also mention @twolinespress.bsky.social in my list of great translation houses. if you only read Two Lines publications for a year you'd emerge having expanded your view of world literature in ways you couldn't previously have guessed at

this includes translations, by the way

TODAY is Pub Day for Batool Abu Akleen's 48KG, tr. various, and the poetry pamphlet she edited & translated for @mptmagazine.bsky.social, SEA SHELLS.
