In Rising Voices of  El Cerrito's Young Poets, a Message About Resilience As our series about Californians and resilience continues, we hear from El Cerrito's poet laureate, Tess Taylor, and students at Harding Elementary School. They wrote about what resilience means to them for a recently published anthology called “Gardening in the Public Flowerfest.” For One Vietnamese Family in LA, This Broth Is Rich With Memories of Life Before and After War  Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Hong Pham was only 6 years old when his family was separated as they fled Vietnam. When they were reunited in a refugee camp in Thailand, they celebrated with a special dish. For our series on resilience, KQED's Daisy Nguyen visited Pham at his home in South Pasadena where he shared memories of his family's journey, and the recipe for the dish that gave them hope. How Poetry Helps Dementia Caregivers Find Shelter from the Storm Frances Kakugawa is a firm believer that the act of caring for another human being can inspire poetry. She knows this from experience, having cared for her mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in the 1990s. She says poetry was a way to take control of her mom's disease and transform the challenging and sometimes lonely experience of caregiving into something positive. For some 20 years, she's been helping other caregivers in Sacramento to find resilience through poetry. Reporter Holly J. McDede brings us this story.  Learn more about your ad choices.

"Poetry is not instant coffee; that is undrinkable. What is slow brewed coffee or a tea ceremony? Everything is slow, which means you can appreciate the nuances of the sounds, the cadence of the language, the content of the poems. The good young poets and the good older poets are not very dissimilar. That's because the focus of these poets is grounded on the same things and measured on the same framework: originality of thought, width of creativity, good grammar and a cogent argument. These are the elements that make good writing." - Sudeep Sen, editor, 'Converse; Contemporary English Poetry by Indians' talks to Manjula Narayan about writing in English, poetry as a tough space, attempting to build a community of poets, and the effort that goes into putting together a good anthology.

Wir stellen heute wie jede Woche drei junge Startups vor, die nicht älter als drei Jahre alt sind und bislang Finanzierungen nicht über einer Million Euro erhalten haben. Den Anfang macht Jochen Schwill, Founder von Spot My Energy. Das Startup stellt smarte Messsysteme, Energiemanagementsysteme und den Zugang zum Strommarkt bereit. Dies ermöglicht den Kundenunternehmen, ihre Energieflüsse zu spotten und zu optimieren. Das Energie-Startup setzt auf ein offenes Hard- und Softwaresystem, das ein breites Spektrum von Usern, Partnern und Geräten ermöglicht.Als zweites sprechen wir mit Miriam Corcoran, CEO von Mivia. Das Startup entwickelt eine KI-gestützte Software zur Materialanalyse, die die Feststellung der Beschaffenheit und Qualität von Metallen genauer, einfacher und schneller macht. Durch die objektive und verlässliche Analyse können die Eigenschaften der Materialien zuverlässig geprüft werden, womit eine gleichbleibend hohe Qualität der Produkte sichergestellt und neue Materialien noch gezielter entwickelt werden können. Somit wird die metallverarbeitende Industrie dabei unterstützt, ein umfassenderes Verständnis von ihren Werkstoffen zu erhalten.Unser letzter Gast der heutigen Folge ist Eliah Werner, Gründer von Young Poets. Das Startup möchte Wein simpler, zugänglicher und attraktiver machen. Insgesamt besteht das Wein-Portfolio aus 8 verschiedenen Sorten. Pro verkaufte Flasche spendet Young Poets einen Betrag an die Stiftung Lesen, um die Lesekompetenz und Lesefreude von Kindern zu fördern.

April is National Poetry Month and whether you love poetry or not, you've likely heard of poet laureates. You may not know what that distinction means, however. There are all kinds of poet laureates—of countries, or states, of cities, and of even smaller areas. A poet laureate is appointed by a head of government for her or his accomplishments and may publish poems for special occasions. It is an honor that comes with a lot of flexibility. In this week's episode, we chat with Luisa A. Igloria, a native of the Philippines who came to the US to attend graduate school and is one of only four poet laureates of color for the state of Virginia. She was appointed to the position right as Covid took over our lives in 2020. She talks about the three cornerstone projects she wanted to launch in order to make poetry a larger part of the community. You can find Luisa on instagram at @poetslizard.

All his wives had been lounge singers.See now grandpa Jones, the one who had no teeth.And I found this strange disco music loved by Uncle Keith.Then I thought of the twin cousins, Herbert and Fred.Once they start talking, you wish you were dead.My dad’s sister Josie, my aunt, I'm sad to sayCame to visit for the Fourth of July and didn't leave till Christmas Day.I love grandma Rose on my mom's side. She's married to grandpa Jones.Then there's cousin Paul. He repairs telephones.Then there's my great aunt Don. All she does is sleep.And her second hubby Mike, the one who's really cheap.I hope my little brother doesn't put frogs in all the food.Or my uncle Rob, the teacher will give another lecture on being rude.My mom loves Uncle Dave. Personally, I think he's weird.I like my Uncle Joe. But he has strange things in his beard.Then there's cousin Jeremy, whose hair is very long,and grumpy old aunt Bertha. She believes she's never wrong.If you could see aunt Beth's clothes and the way they were fitted,Then you'd know why my Uncle Joe had himself committed.Lately, everyone's worried about my mom's cousin Sean.You See, unlike most of my family, He thinks he's a leprechaun.Now Don't get me wrong. I love them all. As strange as they may be.But none are as relatively weird as the relative known as me.By Adrian Dunning, 1995Dear readers, you all just have to wait until next week for me to share with you my thoughts about family reunions. Keep tuned.Warm thoughts. Our family as a circle of strength. And with each birth and every Union the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger. Author unknown.Celebrate the family at family reunions.Warm Thoughts from the Little Home on the Prairie Over a Cup of Tea by Luetta G.

Michael Klam is both funny and helpful in his poetry, so it’s cool that most of his answers to the questions (questions which deal primarily with writers' frustration when it comes to validation that their work is important / has an impact / matters) come in poem form. Like his poem “Bad Puppet Shows: A Field Guide for Young Poets in Job Interviews,” which contains the lines: “some people say never quit your day job, I say, never quit your art, because day jobs are always out there, lurking in the minds of puppets, and in the shadows of wasted years.” And more succinctly in another poem: “if you don’t love what you do, you can survive it, but if you don’t do what you love, you’re fucked…” He may be caught in a vicious cycle of caffeine addiction and possibly has multiple personalities, but who doesn’t these days? Michael Klam’s book, Emma and the Buddha Frog, was published by SAY SOMETHING ANYTHING’s own press (Puna Press) and can be bought on our website: http://punapress.com/products-page/. Michael will also be hosting an event on June 20th at the Museum of the Living Artist to celebrate another anthology being published by the San Diego Poetry Annual: featured readings and a slam-esque poem performance award with a chance to win $$$.  For more episodes subscribe to our podcast on iTunes!
