Speaking Of Language

We are joined by the versatile and accomplished Daisy Rockwell, a Vermont-based painter and award-winning translator of Hindi and Urdu literature. In 2022, she was awarded the Booker Prize for Translation, and she recently gave a talk as part of Cornell’s 15th annual Tagore lecture series in Modern Indian Literature called Mixed Metaphors: Adventures in Translationland. She speaks with Sam about linguistic diversity, creativity, and the joy of mixed metaphor. https://www.daisyrockwell.com/  Five original Daisy Rockwell poems published by the Paris Review: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2024/07/10/five-mixed-metaphors-for-translation/ Watch Daisy's recent lecture at Cornell: https://vod.video.cornell.edu/media/15th+Annual+Tagore+Lecture--Mixed+Metaphors%3A+Adventures+in+Translationland%2C+by+Daisy+Rockwell/1_armr1wko Instagram: @shreedaisy #dhwani #ध्वनि
