Celebrating Linguistic Diversity and Carrying the Torch for Freedom of Expression in China
The poem ‘June’ by imprisoned Chinese poet and journalist Shi Tao is relaying around the world, country to country, language to language, until it reaches Beijing for the Olympics in August.
PEN Centres around the world have translated ‘June’ to over 60 (and counting) of the world’s languages.
When the poem arrives at a new location, you can read and hear a new translation.
The poem has arrived at Belgian (Dutch-Speaking), Belgian (French-speaking), Netherlands, German, Basque, Suisse Romand, Swiss German, Esperanto and Trieste Centres. On April 9 it goes to Swiss-Italian Reto-Romansh, Canadian and Quebecois PEN Centres, the American branch of the Writers in Exile Centre, and the proposed Haiti Centre.
