Couldn’t stay for Part 2 of this fab event, unfortunately, but one thing’s for sure:
our community is alive and kicking and these conversations must continue as we adapt to the new scenarios.
Is the AI bubble about to burst soon? Who’s translating what these days? Is the tech bromance over yet?
A panel event for International Translation Day 2025. Five people are seated on stage in armchairs, with one person standing at a podium on the left. Behind them, a large screen displays the event logo and text: “International Translation Day, Tuesday 30 September 2025,” along with the English PEN and ALCS logos.
A couple of takeaways from Part 1 of #ITD25, on Translation & AI:
- As demand for translated works grows, writers & translators face genAI being trained on pirated texts, without fair licensing/consent.
- Publishers + orgs are pushing back, reminding us that creativity is human.

The most poignant visual: this empty chair on stage, symbolising all the writers who have been imprisoned, detained, or killed for their expression or belief #ITD25

I have new poems OUT on iamb! 🥳
After a long hiatus, you can read me again 🫣 - if you’re that way inclined - and once again wonder “what is WRONG with this guy?!”
Special thanks to @markantonyowen.com for the love and support.
Go read and listen to the poems NOW! #poetry #iamb #poetrylovers
Autumn again. Trees put on their prettiest frocks, then get more naked day by day. Everything now is poetry – and it comes in waves. Leave the chilly air outside. Light a fire, make hot chocolate. Let senses and soul dive beneath @iambapoet.com's newest wave.
