About Alchemy

Alchemy is committed to publishing fresh, engaging translations in a variety of genres and styles. We mainly accept work from students and emerging translators as we seek to promote the creativity and linguistic talent of the up-and-coming generation. We welcome traditional and non-traditional translations as well as experimental pieces. We are based in the University of California, San Diego’s Literature and Linguistics departments. Our journal is edited and published entirely by UCSD students who like to think about translation as an alchemical process of transporting and transforming meaning.
