Today's poem will leave you “knowing very well what it was all about.” Happy reading.Gary Soto was born in Fresno, California on April 12, 1952, to working-class Mexican American parents. As a teenager and college student, he worked in the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, chopping beets and cotton and picking grapes. He was not academically motivated as a child, but he became interested in poetry during his high school years. He attended Fresno City College and California State University–Fresno, and he earned an MFA from the University of California–Irvine in 1976.His first collection of poems, The Elements of San Joaquin (University of Pittsburgh Press), won the United States Award of the International Poetry Forum in 1976 and was published in 1977. Since then, Soto has published numerous books of poetry, including You Kiss by th' Book: New Poems from Shakespeare's Line (Chronicle Books, 2016), A Simple Plan (Chronicle Books, 2007), and New and Selected Poems (Chronicle Books, 1995), which was a finalist for the National Book Award.Soto cites his major literary influences as Edward Field, Pablo Neruda, W. S. Merwin, Gabriel García Márquez, Christopher Durang, and E. V. Lucas. Of his work, the writer Joyce Carol Oates has said, “Gary Soto's poems are fast, funny, heartening, and achingly believable, like Polaroid love letters, or snatches of music heard out of a passing car; patches of beauty like patches of sunlight; the very pulse of a life.”Soto has also written three novels, including Amnesia in a Republican County (University of New Mexico Press, 2003); a memoir, Living Up the Street (Strawberry Hill Press, 1985); and numerous young adult and children's books. For the Los Angeles Opera, he wrote the libretto to Nerdlandia, an opera.Soto has received the Andrew Carnegie Medal and fellowships from the California Arts Council, the Guggenheim Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. He lives in Northern California.-bio via Academy of American Poets This is a public episode.

For the past 20-something years that I've covered the world of college wrestling, one system has always been extremely unique and interesting to me, the California Community College Athletic Association. Now branded as the 3C2A, the organization has sponsored a men's wrestling collegiate championship since 1959. In 1982, the strangest thing about the league came into being - it became a fall sport. So for over 40 years, the first wrestling to kick off each season isn't the NWCA All-Star Classic or an open somewhere in Michigan, it's in September in California. So what and who is actually competing out there? I went to find out, seeing some familiar faces along the way to tell some stories about what the athletes and coaches get out of competing in wrestling's fall season. On this episode, you'll hear from: 7:40 - John Sachs from Tech-Fall.com10:50 - Mt. San Antonio head coach David Rivera13:00 - Fresno City College head coach Paul Keysaw16:00 - Palomar College head coach Timmy Box20:45 - Lassen College head coach Lonnie Nalls25:30 - Mt. San Antonio assistant coach Chris Mecate32:20 - Cal Poly Humboldt (D2) assistant coach Jim Zalesky35:30 - Cuesta College head coach Joe Dansby41:20 - Sacramento City College head coach Marques Gales Want an ad-free version of the show AND the best in wrestling news from around the world?

Hi everyone. It has been a while since I last released an episode. Sorry for the long pause. I just needed a brief break to get some mental rest. It has been a crazy year with lots of changes for me both personally and professionally. After the brief pause, I got back some extra energy and will be releasing a few more episodes periodically over the next few months. I will do my best to keep up the bi-weekly schedule but I hope you understand if the episodes deviate in schedule a bit here and there.Anyway, with that out of the way, I would like to introduce my guest for today, Teresa Flores, an interdisciplinary artist whose work examines identity and wellness and often takes place in the public sphere and incorporates civic engagement. Teresa studied at CSU Fresno and Fresno City College, and holds an MFA in Public Practice from Otis College of Art and Design. Her work responds to the consumption and accessibility of food, culture, and art in suburban and urban spaces. I recorded this episode a while back right before I took a break. Teresa was so kind as to still let me release our conversation. I smiled as I listened to our discussions meander around the pronunciation of names, creating fancy quesadillas, and doing yoga in unexpected places. As always, sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Teresa's WebsiteTeresa's InstagramFresno Feminist Art ProgramTeresa at Alta JournalFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

Poet Lee Herrick has taught at Fresno City College since the late 1990s, and is now our state's first Asian American poet laureate. His work has touched on some of the unique experiences Californians share, including our diverse culture and questions of identity. Host Sasha Khokha chats with Herrick as he shares some of his poems as well as his plans to spread the of poetry across the state. And when it comes to instantly recognizable structures, San Francisco suffers no shortage. But if asked to pick their favorite, many people might go for a classic: the Transamerica Pyramid, which opened in 1972. In a story produced by Carly Severn for Bay Curious, we learn about its surprising origins, and why something that is now an architectural icon was once quite controversial.

LaVance took the long road from Clovis High to San Diego State with stops at Fresno State and Fresno City College. Don't miss his story!

Terrell Green had a tough upbringing. His mom suffered from addiction though, and he lost his father at an early age. He grew up listening to comedians like Richard Pryor, who was a major inspiration for him. He was also a top athlete coming out of Edison High School and went to Fresno City College. This is where it turned bad for him, unfortunately, as he saw his best friend get murdered in front of him. After that incident, he was depressed and suicidal. He stopped playing sports. The guilt weighed on him, as he felt responsible for putting his friend in that situation. He really struggled for a long time, but he was finally able to break out of it. One day, he saw some comedy videos that inspired him to do the same thing, and he was able to find therapy in comedy. He would create characters of people he would see in his neighborhood, for better or worse, and show people what his life was like through this distorted comedic lens. His comedy videos ended up going viral on Tik Tok, Youtube & social media sites and started getting the attention of some pretty big names. than legendary rapper and entertainment mogul Snoop Dogg, who reposted one of his videos to his millions of followers. He started getting feedback that he was helping other people going through the same problems as he was, and this inspired him to write in his journal. Finally, he put his plan in motion to start writing his book, "Against All Odds: A Story About How I Became". After that major release, Terrell was able to reach a large number of people struggling with the same things he was, which in turn helped everyone help each other. The feedback on his book has been nothing but positive, and Terrell wants to keep that dialogue with his fans open & make sure anyone that needs help can get the support they need.

In this episode, Andrew welcomes Bryant Moniz, former University of Hawaii quarterback and professional quarterback in the CFL. Bryant uses all of his experiences to serve as a football and strength and conditioning coach for the next generation. He runs the Hawaii Football Academy, a training program focused on developing young athletes. Also, he is motivating and inspiring people of all walks of life to become more active, fit, and healthy through his training program at the “Warrior’s Den.” Bryant encourages parents to let their kids try as many sports as they can. His philosophy is that one sport will help you excel in another sport, and sports can teach children a lot about discipline, teamwork, and sacrifice. He believes the fact that playing sports growing up can help a person develop both on and off the field as a person as well as elevate overall performance. Bryant has many stories to share, especially when it comes to his experience dealing with injuries. Bryant had a few major setbacks with injuries, starting with his junior year in high school just as the recruitment process was beginning for colleges. He began his college career at Fresno City College. He returned home and walked-on at the University of Hawaii where he had a successful career and made Hawaii proud. Unfortunately, during this senior year, he experienced a season ending ankle injury that halted not only his college career, but also preparation for pro day and hopes to play in the NFL. After college, he played Arena Football in Georgia and suffered another significant injury tearing his MPFL in his knee. Bryant has a lot to share around mental toughness and staying strong. He believes that his work ethic and drive to keep going has led to his success and accomplishments. Bryant has 3 children who he loves to teach and inspire. He has a passion for shedding a positive light on fitness and training, helping others to live and move better.

Coach Jeff Klein of Chaffey College came on to discuss his program at Chaffey College. We also discussed the landscape of California Junior College Basketball and how he has adjusted his philosophy over the years.

In his nearly two decades with the Panthers he has racked up 436 wins, 17 playoff appearances, and has been responsible for transferring out over 100 student-athletes to schools in the US and Canada, as well as numerous professional basketball leagues worldwide. Klein is a native of Long Island, New York where he was a three sport athlete (football, basketball, track & field) at Lawrence High School. "Coach Fred Seger (University of Nebraska Hall of Fame - two sports) taught me discipline, instilled toughness and demanded excellence. There were no excuses and no shortcuts." Another influential coach in Klein's professional career was Vance Walberg (Clovis West HS, Fresno City College, Pepperdine, Philadelphia 76ers, and Sacramento Kings). Vance taught Klein the original components of "The System" (AASAA aka The Dribble Drive Motion Offense). Klein's high school coaches were the people he most looked up to and their career path is what he modeled his own on. After high school, Coach Klein attended Frostburg State University (MD) where he played one year of football for the Bobcats before transferring to SUNY Cortland. At Cortland, Klein intended to play basketball and football, but injuries took Klein to the teaching/coaching route. "At SUNY, I had the opportunity to work with the lacrosse team and found myself as the recruiting coordinator. That was my first taste of coaching." Klein's student-teaching experience at SUNY Cortland took him to the Onondaga Nation Reservation teaching K-12 and coached lacrosse. Coaching to Klein is more than Xs and Os, he prides himself on the relationships he's been able to build with his student-athletes. "I'm very involved in our players' lives. I get to know each member of the team; who they are, their history," he added. "Many of our players were not taught life skills. I was lucky, I had a dad and coaches that taught me the value of accountability, communication skills, and time management." Klein went on to recount the lessons he learned from his father, "He expected me to get up early, put in a hard day's work, dress appropriately, and be respectful. He taught me things I took for granted that I try to give these young men, even something as simple as a firm handshake or tying a tie." --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/systembasketball/support

Normally, a group of singing, dancing senior citizens would be taking the stage at Fresno City College starting this month. But the group dubbed “ New Wrinkles ” has postponed its 2020 season, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the group is staying connected and performing solo on Youtube, in a series called, “ New Wrinkles Unplugged .” Darrel Yates, a retired educator and writer of the New Wrinkles Show, spoke about how the performers have stayed in touch, and continue to sing and dance through the pandemic. Listen to the audio postcard to hear more from Yates, and a taste of New Wrinkles in performance.

Over the next month, many students will be graduating from college, but without the traditional pomp and circumstance or cap and gown. So we asked two students and their mothers about missing out on this once-in-a-lifetime experience, and what songs come to mind when they reflect on their journey. We spoke to Greyson Canterbury and his mom Kim Canterbury who live in Visalia. Greyson is a Fresno State Dean’s Medalist and is planning to go to Sri Lanka as a Peace Corps Volunteer, though the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed those plans. We also hear from Fresno residents Diana Vidales and her mom, Nina Yzarra. Diana is graduating from U.C. Irvine, and her mom is also receiving her associate’s degree from Fresno City College, but both will be celebrating those accomplishments virtually. Listen to the audio postcards above to hear more from Greyson and Diana and their moms.

  This is the first edition of the Short Time Shots where I’m actually recording from the Speakeasy Studio in wonderfully chilly New Brighton, Minnesota. Let’s first be clear, there’s nothing wonderful about being chilly. That was sarcasm. Now, I’ve got a sit-stand desk that I’m working on improving my mobility around the house, because I cannot sit in this stupid chair for 12 hours a day and expect anything good to come of it. Secondly, my desk is no longer in the corner of my bedroom, meaning I can actually walk around to my side of the bed. For five months, that was not possible. Now I’ve still got some things to do to complete it - mainly build the bar and put the rest of the stuff on the walls to complete the sound treatment, but all in all, I’m VERY happy with it so far. I’m also recording this for Facebook Live, just to see how things work on OBS, which is pretty cool.  Minnesota Beer of the Night: Black Ale from Bent Paddle Brewing in Duluth. Six percent. Dark and delicious. By the way, I’m on untappd at jasonbryant12. New Patron: Kevin McGuigan jumps on board. He’s been following and listening for a while as well as he also sent me a shirt for the long lost #WrestlingShirtADay that I did in 2018. No, I’m never doing it again, by the way.  Dual Meets:  Down in Carolina - North Carolina - Belmont Abbey used four falls to power past first-year Mount Olive 34-19 in Division II action. Greg Hilliard registered the fastest fall of the night, picking up six in 34 seconds at 165 pounds. Kenn Caudell’s squad - they’re the Crusaders.  In Division III, Cortland State went 3-0 as the Red Dragons beat Pitt-Bradford 35-18, King’s College 33-13 and host Lycoming 19-18. Lycoming beat Pitt-Bradford 42-18 and King’s 44-10. Pitt-Bradford beat King’s 22-16.  Notables on the Docket: Notre Dame College heads to take on the new program at Fairmont State, while NAIA Southern Oregon heads down the coast to take on San Francisco State, coached by three-time Northwestern All-American Jason Welch.  In Division III, Huntingdon, that’s in Alabama in case you were wondering, hosts a pair of NAIA schools, Life and Thomas More.  In the NAIA, Missouri Valley host the MVC Duals in Marshall. Teams expected to compete there are Baker, Williams Baptist, Bethany, Campbellsville, Ottawa, Waldorf, St. Mary, William Penn, Lincoln, Rochester (Mich.) and of course, the host Vikings of Mo. Val.  FROM THE DWN: In a joint release, USA Wrestling, the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Coalition and Adrian College announced the first Cliff Keen National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships will be held in Adrian, Michigan on March 6-7, 2020. This event will give the NCAA-branded schools an opportunity to compete in the postseason. There’s already an NAIA invitational, but what this means for the longstanding WCWA remains to be seen. I know I’ve got some major plans for women’s wrestling in the future.  Brown and Harvard announced they were partnering to create the New England Regional Training Center and they’ve hired Mike Eierman to be the head coach. Eierman, at least as of last week, was the head wrestling coach at Division III Westminster College in Missouri.  Over the weekend, Fresno City College won its fourth straight California Community College state championship, outdistancing second-place Cerritos 186-137. The Rams, coached by 1991 NCAA champion Paul Keysaw, had four champions. One notable came from Skyline College, which is in San Bruno, just south of San Francisco. Sophomore Stephen Martin became Skyline’s first state champion in 19 years. The San Mateo Daily Journal breaks that down. Over the weekend, it was announced that Eastern Gateway Community College in Steubenville, Ohio will be adding a varsity wrestling program. The school had baseball already and will also add women’s volleyball. Dom Mancini, a longtime high school coach at Boardman High School has been named the Gators first head coach. That’s 241 new college programs - men and women - since 2000.  NC State hired a new director of operations, appointing Ian Assael to the role after the departure of Melissa Simmons. Normally, I don’t draw attention to Director of Ops positions in the newsletter or Shots, but I wanted to give Melissa a solid salute and a verbal high five here. There are few people I’ve met in the sport of wrestling who are as complete and as dedicated as Melissa Simmons. She’s also got an innate ability to do good things for people. When my daughter Lucy was in the hospital a couple of years ago - I’m not sure which time since Lucy’s had a lot of these types of things - Melissa sent a gift package for Lucy that included a stuffed mascot, one that Lucy still pals around with today. It fits well with her Lion King collection. Tuffy plays the role as one of the hyenas, since according to my daughter, they’re both dogs. Melissa is moving out of wrestling, which sucks for us. I worked with her when she interned at USA Wrestling and with a client-vendor relationship with the NC State #PackMentality Pop-Ins Podcast. No one paid faster and no one has been more complete and consistent than Melissa with NC State. Good luck and we hope to see you around soon. Your work has always been above and beyond, even when going to pick up subs in Colorado Springs.  WSAW in Wausau, Wisconsin features the women’s program at UW-Stevens Point. Joe Tuscano of the Observer-Reporter, a finalist for NWMA Journalist of the Year last year, pens a column about the new rule in Pennsylvania allowing more than one wrestler from a team to appear in bracketed tournaments around the state. Not sure why PA was late to the party on this. When I was wrestling, sometimes we’d be in 32-team tournaments and we’d get two or even three guys in a weight - only one would score, though.   On The Network Nothing new today.  You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

Fresno City College won its eighth California Community College state championship in the last 13 years and its second three-peat last weekend at Cerritos College in Southern California. On Episode 484 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, head wrestling coach Paul Keysaw returns to the program for the first time in two years to talk about this year's team and why it was special. Keysaw also broaches the topic of opportunities available in California for wrestlers and the untapped potential the state has to be able to teach and coach wrestling. He'll also touch on the relevance of Fresno State's program on the state as well as new coaches up and down the college rankings in the Golden State.

Las Peregrinas was an idea first birthed by Yaccaira Salvatierra and co-organized with Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo. They wanted California women's voices to be in conversation with other border states and communities as a way to share and heal. Each of the four peregrinas honors her antepasados and the border in her poetry and together they share a reverence for those who have gone before them. Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, a first-generation Chicana, is the author of Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge (Sundress Publications 2016). A former Steinbeck Fellow, Poets & Writers California Writers Exchange winner and Barbara Deming Memorial Fund grantee, she's received residencies from Hedgebrook, Ragdale, National Parks Arts Foundation and Poetry Foundation.

The team talks about a new delivery service through Amazon that will give them access to your car. Also, two children were killed in a late night house fire in Merced, police are still trying to determine the motive of a man who drove into a crowded sidewalk in Canada, and how Fresno City College is celebrating their communities cultural diversity.

Busy day in the small colleges on the dual meet side of things, I’m in New York, so after checking out the Kentucky-Monmouth game, I saw some boxing, the Rangers and the Devils and a bunch of drunken Santas stumbling through Manhattan. Seriously. I saw college hoops, the NHL and pro boxing all in the same day in the same venue. The Ukrainian boxer made the Cuban quit. Craziness. Before I start, Brian Williams, and probably not the former newsman, corrected me on my Gannon reference the other day. I mistakenly said Gannon was from Metroid, well, that’s all jacked up. My childhood memories are crap. Gannon was from Zelda. And since I never played Zelda and was confusing it from the Nintendo commercial so many years ago, I call shenanigans. Anyway, the evil boss in Metroid was Mother Brain. Coach Paul Keysaw and Fresno City College won the school’s 15th state championship as the Rams claimed four titles to outdistance second-place Mt. San Antonio 184-152. Brandon Betencourt, Isaiah Perez, Aaron Mora and Dylan Martinez won titles at 125 through 149 while five other Rams placed in the top eight to claim Fresno City’s second straight championship. Lock Haven won the PSAC Championships for the 20th time, but it was the first time in 17 years since they’d done it. The Bald Eagles were led by champions Ronnie Perry at 149, Chance Marsteller at 165, Corey Hazel at 184 and Thomas Haines at heavyweight. Lock Haven scored 156 points, followed by Clarion in second with 122 and Edinboro in third with 120.5. Pitt-Johnstown was fourth, the top non-Division I finish of the 12-team field. Only thing really notable out of the UNI Open was Iowa’s Spencer Lee entered and dominated. Results on Trackwrestling.com, video on Flo. Campbellsville won its third straight NAIA Women’s Invitational and crowned six champions. While not entirely comprised of every NAIA school with a women’s team, it’s a fledgling event that could be the precursor to an officially sponsored NAIA national championship event. No. 19 Wisconsin cruised past Division III UW-Whitewater 38-3. Nothing really to go into, it’s what big brother does to little brother. Wyoming reeled off four wins in the last five weights to get past Iowa State 24-14 to open up Big 12 action. Wins by Branson Ashworth, Kyle Pope, Chaz Polson and Cody Vigoren gave Wyoming the leg up, if that is such a rodeo reference. If not, my apologies to fellow announcer and rodeo legend Boyd Polhamus. Of note, Iowa State’s Jakob Allison, a guy the Cyclones pulled off the club team in Ames, earned a fall at 125 pounds. Pretty cool story there. In Division II, No. 23 Mary and coach Adam Aho picked up one of the program’s biggest wins since it moved to NCAA Division II with a 21-19 win over ninth-ranked Upper Iowa. Wins down the stretch by Phillip Springsteen and Austin Eichmann were clutch for the Marauders. Springsteen’s fall at 165 was crucial. Eichmann’s major at 174 put the dual out of reach. In Division III, fourth-ranked Johnson & Wales carved up the competition and cooked up three wins -- beating Niagara 46-4, Oneonta State 48-3 and Cortland State 45-12. Lonnie Morris is probably hanging red stockings for Christmas. Some of you might get that. WPI went 3-0 defeating Niagara Community College and a pair of Red Dragons. The Engineers beat Niagara 40-8 before beating No. 16 Cortland State 36-6 and Oneonta State 27-19. Both Cortland and Oneonta are named the Red Dragons. Seriously. Shout out to you Jason Ellis -- if you know who that is, more power to you. No. 9 Baldwin Wallace went 3-0 on the road at Waynesburg. Jamie Gibbs’ Yellowjackets topped Penn State Behrend 45-3, the Newport News Apprentice School 39-7 and No. 24 Waynesburg 23-10. Buena Vista beat St. Olaf 41-9. Marian, a second-year program, picked up its most successful day of its young history by going 4-0 at the Indiana Tech Warrior Duals, including a 26-19 win over third-ranked Indiana Tech. Fire it up coach Steven Bradley Snow caused problems across the southeast as the Williams Baptist Duals were canceled in Arkansas, as was the Brewton-Parker tri meet in Georgia.

This week, Ken reviews this fall’s back-to-school college and university videos, from presidential welcomes to o-week excitement, from bubble gum records to Pokémon Go! We looked at “O-Week Winners & Sinners” in a previous episode. https://youtu.be/imr8-zMyEDg This time, we’re focused on more official videos: UPEI provided vital orientation information in their video. https://youtu.be/xzzWt_xswSY Trinity Western University recaps the excitement of move-in day. https://youtu.be/jMm7Mw1FqNI Ryerson University organized more than 1200 students, staff and faculty to “pop” the Guiness world record for bubble gum blowing. https://youtu.be/AgI0arSkyLI But back-to-school videos also tackle “heavier” issues. In a previous episode we looked at campus and dorm room safety videos. https://youtu.be/NRPY2RSSfK8?t=2m1s Respect and sexual consent campaigns are also widespread at this time of year, and for good reason: The first few weeks of school are when the vast majority of sexual assaults occur. In an effort to keep things gender-neutral, this fall the Sexual Assault Resource Centre at Montreal’s Concordia University enlisted some unusual spokesfruit to explain sexual consent. https://youtu.be/zzuTjVwlcgo Just as we’ve seen holiday greeting videos proliferating in December, it’s no surprise to see presidential “welcome back” videos in September. Most just capture a president’s welcome to new students, although others are specifically directed at staff and faculty, and some manage to incorporate some quirky humour, like this from St Lawrence College president Glenn Vollebregt: https://youtu.be/i2jSZd9wjYM And then there is Pokémon Go, perhaps the viral sensation of the summer. Within weeks the new augmented reality game attracted more than 21 million active daily users in the US alone – more than Candy Crush or even Twitter! Old fogeys took delight in mocking the distracted gamers, but some Pokemon players “poked” fun at themselves: https://youtu.be/go-UKdfStHg Colleges and universities quickly discovered that their campuses were popular locations for Pokemon hunting. If you take a left turn at Albuquerque, you’ll find plenty of Pokemon players at the University of New Mexico: https://youtu.be/m8siqgCkjB0 Many institutions quickly leveraged Pokemon to get students exploring more of the campus, like Wright State University in Ohio: https://youtu.be/Md1JgRxTQBU Johnson County Community College, in Kansas, mapped their Pokestops and gyms: https://youtu.be/z9VO5le86gc BCIT organized a real-life scavenger hunt they called Pokemon Go Day, to bring students, staff and their families to campus: https://youtu.be/DgGsiF85SWs (If you haven’t already discussed ways to incorporate Pokemon Go into your next student recruitment cycle, your competitors have!) At a time when public health experts are worried about the impact of a sedentary gaming lifestyle on North American young people, fans of Pokemon Go were quick to emphasize the exercise component of the game. Campus student life and mental health professionals are hopeful that augmented reality games like Pokemon Go may create a stronger sense of community, particularly for introverts. Naturally, school mascots were among the first to get into the Pokemon craze, like Duke the Lion at Florida’s Warner University: https://youtu.be/SxO-gFa-Jlo This summer, some students were already starting to worry that their obsession with the game might be interfering with their studies, but at least one professor at UC Berkeley is playing along, and considering using Pokémon lures during his office hours. https://youtu.be/XZsudfgZ7iQ In fact, within weeks Fresno City College announced a new Pokemon credit course in Phys Ed. https://youtu.be/ZtIpE9Yuy-8 Perhaps my favourite back-to-school video this year comes from the Student Union at Dalhousie University. They welcomed students back to campus with a rousing 3-minute music video, a tribute to their school colours, “Black and Gold.” https://youtu.be/QkeYEa9jKto Don’t forget to subscribe to my free email newsletter, to get exclusive early access to upcoming episodes! www.eduvation.ca/subscribe

Ben & Daniel talk with Megan Bohigian, author of the collection "Sightlines." Megan talks about the theatrical term "sightlines" and how she's adapted it to take on a literary meaning in revisiting memories from different perspectives. Bohigian teaches Creative Writing at Fresno City College, and she talks with Daniel (a Fresno native) about why so many writers come out of Fresno. For this week's Poem of the Week, Megan Bohigian reads "Learning to Dive, Chapman Compound Pool, 1962," from her collection "Sightlines." In today's Poetic License, JL Powers, author of "This Thing Called the Future," talks about paralyzing fear...from the strange noises at night as a child, or as an adult of being raped or murdered in South Africa. Plus, Daniel & Ben talk about their love/hate relationship with broccoli (Daniel loves it, Ben hates it).
