Mis/translations Diana Norma Szokolyai and Rita Banerjee are the founders and co-directors of the Cambridge Writers' Workshop (CWW). You can read about the CWW's upcoming Pre-Thanksgiving Yoga, Writing, and Juice Cleanse Retreat in Quail Bell Magazine. In the interview, the CWW shares tips on creating a creative discipline of writing, yoga, and self-care. Rita also discusses the creative writing invention exercise "Mis/translations" and how it can help kick-start your writing. Rita's poem, "Who Lamb" was inspired by a Mis/translation exercise at the last CWW Verderonne retreat. Norma read her own poem, "hullám/wave" in Hungarian and Rita "mis/translated" based entirely on the sound and feel of words that were foreign to her. hullám/wave By DBiana Norma Szokolyai (to be read out loud simultaneously in Hungarian & English) Az állando hullám The continuous wave igaznak hangzik rings true egymással keresztbe futó hullámok cross sea elmerülök a hullám sírban I am submerged in a watery grave érzed?
