Event hosted by the Centre for Comparative Literature and Translation, University of Glasgow

Since 2015, the Edwin Morgan Trust has supported a biennial series of international translation exchanges that bring leading international poets to Scotland to collaborate with Scottish poets through workshops and public readings.

The fifth edition of this series brings together four poets – Beth Frieden, Iva Jevtić, David Kinloch, and Milan Šelj – working across Scottish Gaelic, Scots, and Slovene for a two-part exchange in Edinburgh (November 2025) and Ljubljana (summer 2026), organised with and supported by the Centre for Slovenian Literature and the Slovenian Book Agency. During these residencies, the poets will translate each other’s work and explore the cultural and linguistic contexts that inform their writing.

Chaired by Ken Cockburn, this event will feature readings from all four poets as they reflect on the process of literary translation, offering insight into the creative and collaborative journey behind their work. The event will be followed by a reception in The Atrium.
