I am Deborah Smith. I grew up in a small South Yorkshire town without a bookshop or books at home, never travelling. I read translations, learned Korean, then began to translate and founded Tilted Axis Press (publishing translations of writing from across Asia), all to learn, share and support a more nuanced and equitable awareness of our mutually entangled lives. These days I translate little and slowly, mainly poetry. My other translation work involves mentoring, curating, and learning to live in India.

Prepping for a little workshop to celebrate #WorldKidLitMonth this afternoon, and I wanted to share Deborah Smith's bio from her translation of I AM THE SUBWAY by Kim Hyo-eun (Scribble) 🤩
