Modern Poetry in Translation:
MPT was founded by Daniel Weissbort and Ted Hughes in 1966 and is a journal with an international reputation for the wide range of poets and translators that it presents and for serious and lively discussion of the art of translating poetry. King's College London, which owns the archive of MPT, has relaunched the magazine under the editorship of Professor Daniel Weissbort, Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of English at King's.
Issues of MPT generally offer a themed special section in addition to a wide-ranging selection of poems from other times and places, plus essays on translation, reviews, an ongoing exchange of readers' and contributors' comments, and occasional features on individual translators. The average issue includes between 224 and 280 pages, and has a cover specially designed by the artist, Richard Hollis. Contents of the issues can be viewed via the issues page which also gives information about submission of manuscripts.
MPT appears twice a year.
I see no online samples.
