Welcome to Polyglot Poetry

Summary

Polyglot Poetry is a Medium publication dedicated to multilingual poets, offering a space for poetry in various languages alongside English translations.

Abstract

Polyglot Poetry is an inclusive platform for poets who write in multiple languages. Recognizing the lack of a dedicated space for multilingual poetry on Medium, the publication was created to serve as a "home" for polyglot poets, including those who may have previously struggled to find a suitable outlet for their work. The publication emphasizes the importance of providing English translations to make the poetry accessible to a diverse global audience. It aims to publish high-quality multilingual poetry and is committed to showcasing the linguistic diversity of its contributors.

Welcome to Polyglot Poetry — a home for multilingual poets from all around the world.

Being a polyglot myself, I couldn’t find a Medium publication which offered poetry in multiple languages. I’ve met many other poets at Medium who write in more than one language but struggle to find a permanent home for their poetry.

So here it is — the birth of Polyglot Poetry — a permanent home for all those struggling polyglot poets at Medium.

It doesn’t matter where you are from, what language you write poetry in, as long as you can add an English translation for your work, Polyglot Poetry is your home.

We aim to publish quality poetry written in multiple languages for our diverse readers from across the globe.
