Words without Borders is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the translation, publication, and promotion of the finest international literature. Since 2003 WWB has published more than 1,200 pieces from writers in more than 111 countries and 90 languages. We’ve curated five acclaimed anthologies, Literature from ‘“The Axis of Evil,” Words Without Borders: The World through the Eyes of Writers; The Wall in My Head: Words and Images from the Fall of the Iron Curtain, The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry, and Tablet & Pen: Literary Landscapes from the Modern Middle East.
