International Call for Translations

Call for Translations

Hayden’s Ferry Review is looking for translations that pay close attention to cultural bodies, the way they indentify themselves, interact, and maintain their distinctions. HFR’s international section wishes to explore these living arrangements as perceived by the inhabitant writer. Our intention is to provide a venue for writers who have not been recognized by the dominant literary communities; workers outside of tradition, or so deep in tradition that what they do no longer fits the literary mold.

As the international section means to respect the full dimensionalities of language—how cultures organize concepts into figures of sound, what those sounds are—there are also these elements:

An introduction by the author. Perhaps how an experience has been translated, how conditions have shaped the experience. Perhaps considering the linguistic or ethical complications of coordinating the languages, demonstrated by a specific passage of the work.

An audio component. The writer reading his or her work in the original language, accessible on HFR’s website.
