Whether or not you you know another language, Creative Translations offers an explorative and open space to approach the possibilities of language and meaning. We will learn about literal translation as well as translation centered around preserving the feeling of the original language. Ultimately, we'll embark on associative translation exercises centered around listening and transcription. At the end of this class, we will share our distinct interpretations to celebrate the range of our perspectives.

"AM Ringwalt is a caring and attentive instructor, with a great eye for the type of poetry we want to write and we want to feel. It's a pleasure knowing her as a person and an even greater one studying with her as a teacher."
"AM Ringwalt really opened my eyes to the beauty of literature. The poem I wrote in her workshop really showed me how greatly I’m influenced by people and environment. I’m trying to learn how to write better and hearing AM quote some of my words really made me happy. Thanks for the encouraging words."
"I loved taking class with AM. She brought insight while at the same time acknowledged and valued the insights of classroom participants as equal to her own. The pacing of the class was great and it never dragged or rushes."
