For 20 years, TWO LINES has ranked among the leading journals of international literature.

Each issue brings a mixture of major international stars, beloved regional writers, and up-and-comers, giving readers a cross-section of the vital work happening all across the globe. TWO LINES also publishes essays that delve into issues surrounding translation, as well as ones that describe intriguing new literatures on the cutting edge of poetry and prose. Always printed bilingually on high-quality paper, and featuring vibrant covers, the journal itself is a beautiful item, proving that in a digital age some things are best left in print.
