Trafika was an international literary magazine edited in Prague, Czech Republic and New York City between 1993 and 1999. Trafika was a printed journal that published the poetry and prose of emerging and established authors, with an emphasis on introducing the work of writers who were unknown or little known to English-language readers. In seven issues, Trafika published the work of over 120 authors writing in more than 30 languages. In addition to original literary texts and translations (into English), Trafika featured conversations with writers, including Miroslav Holub, Arnošt Lustig, György Konrád, Paul Bowles, and Tomaž Šalamun.
Trafika was founded in Prague 1993 by Michael Lee, Alfredo Sanchez, Scott Rogers and Jeffrey Young. In 1994 Dorsey Dunn joined as editor in New York. Trafika was first published by Modra Musa Publishers in Prague and then, from 1994, by Trafika Press, Inc., a non-profit organization registered in New York. Trafika began as a quarterly but from 1995 publication became irregular. The last issue, Trafika 7, was published in 1999, and the magazine is defunct from that time.
