The Lisbon Literary Review is dedicated to celebrating the art of creative writing and the transformative power of translation, emphasizing poetry. Rooted in the cultural crossroads of Lisbon, we serve as a bridge between the English- and Portuguese-speaking literary worlds, fostering dialogue, discovery, and creative exchange. We champion voices from both sides of the Atlantic and Lusophone world, publishing original poetry and translations that illuminate the nuances of language, identity, and imagination. Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant, bilingual space where creative writers, especially poets and translators, and readers come together to explore the shared rhythms and resonances of two rich literary traditions.
We are currently accepting submission for poetry for our first publication. Visit our submissions page for more information & guidelines.
