Poetry

Let's talk some poetry!

What is the hardest thing you run into when publishing your poems?

A magazine filled with (onchain) poetry. A fund to support poets.

For me, the hardest challenge is translating my poems into English

Since I'm not a native English speaker, I'm always afraid that the meanings and emotions I intend won't be fully conveyed

Thank you
I really appreciate your perspective 🙏
You're right, there's something raw and beautiful about expressing yourself in a second language

I usually write in Persian first because that's where my emotions flow most naturally

Maybe Panglish is part of that magic. I’ll keep leaning into it 😊

This is an understandable challenge, and maybe AI can help. 
But...
there's also the charm of a non-native speaker's English, which we like to refer to as Panglish, that adds a layer of connection.

Have you tried writing directly in English? You will probably bring some beautiful structures and metaphors and imagery to the playing field if you do.
