Futures: A Portfolio of Work in Translation
A 2021 collection in search of multiform tomorrows. Translation, the editors assert, “arises from a [process] that requires breaking language and approaching its shards with astonishment and humility.”
The AGNI Portfolio of African Fiction
A 2010 gathering from below the Sahara. “What these stories seem to announce is a powerful narrative outlook that has almost nothing to do with the West’s expectation of ‘Africanness.’”
Afterlives: An AGNI Portfolio of Asian Adoptee Diaspora Writing
An efflorescence from 2023. “Nimble, protean, an adoptee has an awareness and creativity that converse with constellations, dimensions, manifold possibilities unbound by known origins and sources.”
A Portfolio of British and Irish Poems
A 2006 snapshot of new work “indicative of trends in Britain and Ireland: a lively breadth of language, and a seriousness that eschews pretension.” Alice Oswald, Simon Armitage, & other AGNI debuts.
To Never Have Risked Our Lives: A Portfolio of Central American and Mexican Diaspora Writing
In this 2024 convening, we “reclaim the past, reawaken memories, and connect with a new generation of people who are moving across borders and freshly experiencing what second- and third-generation Latinx Americans may have forgotten.”
