The new museum: Not a monu-ment to college administratorsDear Editor:

As a patron and graduate of PomonaCollege, I hope that the city of Clare-mont and the newspaper will generate

public support to ensure that a multi-pur-pose, multi-use museum building servesthe broader community.

The site, across the street from the oldClaremont Inn, should be a nexus forcivic engagement, a sort of Renaissancecity palace, which deepens the culturaldensity of the community and the Col-leges.

It should have the Athenaeum pro-gram that CMC has so successfully de-veloped, some residencies forClaremont Fellows, ultimately selectedby all of the Colleges and a cinema caféthat shows the classic movies of the lastdecades, as well as the documentariesthat shape our consciousness today.

The new art center should include arichly-conceived dining room that can beused to entertain art patrons (who shouldbe cultivated to expand the modest col-lection), the city leadership, trustees anddining societies akin to the ElizabethanClub or the Signet Society at Harvardand Yale, which nourish good conversa-tionalists among the faculty and stu-dents. It could also feature a communityroom exhibiting the plans of all of theeducational institutions as an “institu-tional memory” display where civicleaders can meet. And, of course, thereshould be a dedicated commitment topublic art and craft that builds a narrativeinto the fabric of the building, which the

recent antiseptic studio art building re-markably failed to do.Beyond the budget? Enough of the

banal austerity of too many College

buildings. I have offered up to $8 millionfrom a dedicated charitable remaindertrust to add the programming and the ar-chitectural and artistic finishes that canmake this into a civilizing experience forall of the people.

After a year, I am still waiting forPomona College to seriously considerthese proposals and not rush a monu-ment to completion that characterizes thedysfunctional combination of arrogance(we are the most highly-endowed col-lege per capita in the western world andcan plan imperiously) and naiveté (wehaven’t thought about this level of ur-bane vitality) that often characterize nar-rowly-conceived academic endeavors.

The community should have the lever-age to ensure a level of urbanity that re-covers the energy of the old ClaremontInn, and the “daring minds” of the mil-lennial. Let’s really use that fundraisingslogan to raise institutional conscious-ness for broader community benefit.

Golf course is a hazardDear Editor:

Remember when we had a golf coursein Claremont? The property, more than30 acres of it, is now a potentially seri-ous fire hazard. The fairways have beenabandoned, the irrigation shut off andweeds grow knee-high. The eucalyptustrees are dying. If a fire got started itwould leap the fence, sweep through theBotanic Gardens and spread from there

into residential neighborhoods.The current owner is the ClaremontUniversity Consortium. I think the com-munity has a right to know what plans

the CUC has for the future of this prop-erty.

It is one of the largest parcels of undeveloped land remaining within the citylimits. Most of us drive by on Indian HiBoulevard and don’t give it a secondthought. The property encompasses al-most half of the Indian Hill mesa, whichit shares with the Rancho Santa AnaBotanic Garden.

It could be a stunning site for anothercollege, a major museum or the crown jewel of our city parks. Mark Merr

The past four years havebeen the driest on recordin California, leading

Governor Jerry Brown to ordermandatory water reductions by

25 percent or more for the firsttime in the state’s history.

Recognizing the severity of the situa-tion, and seeking enforcement power,Claremont City Manager Tony Ramosdeclared a Level 2 water supply shortageon April 23 as outlined in the city’s waterordinance. The declaration was in re-sponse to the governor’s executive orderand the State Water Control ResourcesBoard, who collectively issued water re-strictions this month. The water board iscalling on all water agencies to restrictwatering to no more than two days aweek and to make all 2014 restrictionsnot just recommended but mandatory.

On April 28, the Claremont CityCouncil unanimously affirmed Mr.Ramos’ declaration, finding sufficientreason to declare the water supply short-age and allowing the city to issue cita-tions for water-wasting behavior. The

council also instructed city staff to im-

plement additional water conservationmeasures for the city in an effort to meetthe 32 percent water reduction set forClaremont.

The following water restrictions begin

on Monday, May 11:

• Watering or irrigating lawn, land-scaping or other vegetated area, withpotable water is limited to two days perweek. Houses with addresses ending ineven numbers will be allowed to water

on Monday and Thursday. Houses witaddresses ending in odd numbers will ballowed to water Tuesday and Friday.

• The restrictions do not apply to drsystems or hand-watering with a hooutfitted with an automatic shut-off nozle.

• All leaks, breaks or other malfuntions must be repaired within 48 hours onotification.

• Using water to wash vehicles is prhibited except by use of bucket, handheld hose equipped with a shut-onozzle, high pressure/low volume wassystem or at a commercial car wash thutilizes re-circulated water.

• Refilling pools or outdoor spamore than one foot and initial filling opools is prohibited.

According to the city’s website, Lev2 conservation measures are in additioto the city’s permanent requirementwhich include no outdoor watering btween 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and no washin

down hard or paved surfaces. Residenmay not water more than 15 minutes pday per watering station. Watering inmanner that causes runoff or excessiv

Claremont’s Grand Old Fourth of July is going to look and feel a bitdifferent this year. The ongoing

drought and statewide urban water restric-tions have forced the city to seek alterna-

tives for the annual fireworks showtraditionally held on Strehle Track atPomona College.

On Thursday, April 30, the Independence DayCommittee held a special meeting to discuss propos-als on an alternative fireworks show for the city’s2015 Fourth of July celebration, led by Assistant CityManager Colin Tudor.

“Claremont High School really appears to be thebest option. It will be similar to homecoming but on alarger scale and would entail watching fireworks fromthe bleachers and on the football field,” Mr. Tudor ex-plained. “I want to emphasize that this really has to doonly with the impact of the drought and the water re-strictions coming out of it. It has nothing to do withbudget cuts.”

During their April 28 meeting, the Claremont CityCouncil adopted a resolution affirming the city man-ager’s declaration of a Level 2 water supply shortage incompliance with the state’s emergency regulations. Theregulations under Level 2, which include a two-day-a-week watering pattern go into effect May 11, allowingcity staff time to enact changes in water uses practicesto move Claremont toward the 32 percent mandatoryreduction.

“One of the things that came up at that meeting wasthe amount of water that goes into keeping the washarea and the soccer field around the fireworks showfrom igniting during and after the show,” Mr. Tudortold the committee. “It uses a substantial amount of water—about 400,000 to 500,000 gallons—which,

just to give you an idea, is the average for threehouseholds for one year.”

Working in partnership with the Claremont UnifiedSchool District, the city has proposed using the base-ball field at CHS near Oxford Avenue as a launching

pad for this year’s fireworks show. The field willmaintain its two-day-a-week watering schedule butwill also be supplemented by hand-watering prior tothe event.

“We’ve also discussed the use of foam to combatthe ashy debris that comes back down on the field,”said Human Services Director Anne Turner. “Nothinghas been decided as of yet.”

While holding the fireworks show at CHS mayoffer a solution to the water problem, it does present a

few challenges of its own. The football field at CHS an artificial turf, meaning it gets hot and is not con-ducive to the typical picnic-style party Claremont patriots are accustomed to.

“We can’t bring chairs or other things that couldpuncture the turf. And there will be no food allowed othe field, only drinking water,” explained Mr. Tudor.

The city hopes to secure an area on the service roa just north of the field and offer tables and chairs sofolks can enjoy the traditional offerings of the Kiwa-nis Club before The Ravelers concert and fireworks.

“We will set up the grill and eating area on theblacktop,” said Kiwanis President Dennis Bauman.“Using the snack shack would not work for us be-cause people would just go on the field. I don’t knowhow this really is going to work. It’s going to be a reinteresting deal.”

Ticket sales to the celebration will also be impactethis year due in large part to the limited seating avail-able at the high school. Last year, nearly 6,000 ticketwere purchased for the event. This year, ticket saleswill max out between 3,000 and 4,000, as the bleach-ers can seat about 2,700 guests with the field offeringadditional blanket seating for remaining ticketholders

Anticipating a loss this year, the Independence DaCommittee approved taking up to $20,000 from thei“rainy day fund” to offset any financial shortfall.

As proposed, the fireworks show put on by BayFireworks will also see some changes this year to accommodate the new venue. In years past, the py-rotechnic company has used 3-inch and 4-inch shellsfor the Claremont show, but smaller 2-inch shellswould now be used to reduce the amount of falloutfrom the fireworks. There was also a bit of talk abouthe addition of a field fireworks display, but nothinghas been set in stone.

The city intends to send notice to nearby CHS residents sometime this week, alerting them to the possible change of venue.

The fireworks show alternative will be discussedbefore city council during their meeting on Tuesday,May 12. Public comment is welcome.

On April 24, Sumner El-ementary School cele-brated its 50th an-

niversary with a birthday bashfeaturing student presentations,music by the LCR Band, the

savory presence of the In-n-Out burger truck and a tripdown Sumner’s memory lane.

It was also a great time for the schoolto showcase its new courtyard, made of commemorative bricks purchased byalumni, community members and cur-rent Sumner families to display theirschool spirit.

“It was chilly but it was phenomenal.There were a lot of people there,” OfficeManager Deborah Coyle reported.

There were some local luminaries inattendance, including Claremont MayorCorey Calaycay, Claremont UnifiedSchool District Superintendent Jim El-sasser and school board member Hilary

LaConte. Also on hand were a who’swho of Sumner administrators, includ-ing an array of former principals and in-terim principals. This group includedGyle Tague—Sumner’s first principal,who is now 93—followed by Mary BethJacobs-Ellsworth, Amy Stanger, FrankD’Emilio, Arny Bloom and current prin-cipal Kristin Robinson.

The school’s choir performed andthen everyone joined in the joint Sum-ner-Danbury theme: “ We share oneheart/Come together and the teamworkstarts/We are so many gifts in so manyways/Making choices every day/Reach-ing higher and higher.”

The sharing of one heart refers to the

close association Sumner and Danburyschools share, along with two permeable

campuses on a single site. There is con-stant interaction between the kids of Sumner and Danbury, which is CUSD’sgo-to school for children who are ortho-pedically handicapped or live with otherdisabilities.

Many times Danbury kids are stream-lined, taking classes like math and sci-ence in Sumner classrooms, dependingon their individual strengths. Sumner

students often head to Danbury forsmall-group work on team reading with

Danbury teachers.The fifth and sixth grade students at

Sumner, during the course of their PEclass, swim with their Danbury peers inthe Danbury pool. And upper graders atSumner have buddies at Danbury, whomthey are expected to assist in case of anemergency.

The two campuses are so close theyhave a dual logo. The words Sumner and

Danbury are written, with the tail of Sumner’s dolphin mascot sprouting from

one side and the tail of the Danburydragon curling around the other side.

“I like when we have a fire drill,” at-tendance clerk Tani Peterson said. “Thesixth graders all say, ‘I’ve got to get myDanbury student.’ We don’t have to tellthem to go get them. That really toucheme.”

It’s reflective of Sumner’s motto,which enjoins kids to “Be kind. Be re-

sponsible. Be the best you can be.”—Sarah Torrib

“A 12-day tour, a 12-day tour”(Sing to the theme song from “Gilligan’s Island”)

W

hen seven people set sail onwhat was scheduled to be athree-hour sightseeing tour on

the charter boat The Minnow, they gotcaught in a storm and ended up stranded onan uncharted tropical island—it was a three-hour tour that lasted for three seasons andinnumerable reruns as the television showGilligan’s Island.

I just returned from China where I, too, was a memberof a diverse and eager sightseeing group and, though weweren’t shipwrecked or forced to tour the country in abamboo taxi (featured in three episodes of the show), wedid eat a lot of exotic food and met some people whopacked like the Howells.

My husband and I have never been on a “tour” before.We fancy ourselves adventurers (albeit, ones who like tostay in hotels, shower with hot water and eat at restau-

rants); when we travel, we seek out the quirky and un-predictable. Did you know that there’s a 70-footpassageway in San Luis Obispo called Bubblegum Alleythat is composed entirely of previously-chewed gum?

Sensing we might be out of our league in a country asvast as China—especially since there are no ABCs in

words, as the standard Chinese writing system uses anon-alphabetic script—my husband opted for a guidedtour, complete with meals, lodging and transportation.

Our guide was the flag-toting Sonny. We received aname tag—which, when I put it around my neck, mademe feel like I was in third grade again visiting the La BreaTar Pits—and a receiver and headset so we could hearSonny pontificate on the sights and history of the citiesof Beijing, Xian, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai. Wetraveled by plane, bus and, ever-so-briefly, rickshaw.There were families and retirees, young couples and bestfriends in our troupe. We hailed from every corner of theUnited States and even Myanmar.

The first instruction from Sonny was that the restroomwould be known to us tourists as the “happy roo.” Healso explained that in China, they refer to it as the

“karaoke” room. He enlightened us on the use of thesquatty-potty, and all I can share in this regard (in thisnewspaper) is that I now understand why the Chinesewon 12 medals in gymnastics at the last Olympics.

We took in the great sites: Tiananmen Square, the For-bidden City, the Great Wall and the Terra Cotta Warriors.

We experienced Chinese dinner theater—a dumplinbanquet followed by a Tang Dynasty stage show, whicI can only describe as the Joseph and the Amazing Tecnicolor Dream Coat of Buddhism.

We also visited a tea plantation where there was a preentation that sounded almost like an Amway pitch (greetea as a facial scrub, sunburn treatment, wrinkle reducefoot bath and carpet cleaner) and a silk factory.

On the bus, we morphed into an extended familmuch like the castaways on Gilligan’s Island; instead “the professor and Mary Ann,” we had a guy who couln’t get off the bus without purchasing something (even a truck stop!) and a self-declared “group photographerwho posed us in front of beautiful garden scenes like wwere once again a bride and groom. Together our groumarveled at the incredible architecture in Shanghai anthe fact that many, many Chinese woman like to wehigh heel sneakers.

We got to visit our son, who’s studying in ShanghaHe introduced us to street food, Cong You Bing (a decious green onion and egg pancake).

We didn’t end up stranded on an island with our fellotravelers (á la Gilligan and crew), but we’ll certainly reish a lifetime of memories: the gastronomic, the culturand the unexpected. When we asked our tour guide he’s able to watch American shows on his computer, hproudly shared that he has downloaded and enjoyed Forest Gump and Desperate Housewives. It’s a smaworld after all.


Touring China á la Gilligan’s Islandby Debbie Carini

It might be fun to make two teams of the guys and take score. We could call it sports or something

Iam not sure why, but I amon the mailing lists of a lotof para-church youth or-

ganizations.I get bulk mailings that read “1,500

Souls Saved” or “800 Come to Christ.”These are glossy brochures with picturesof teenagers holding their hands in the airand crying. They invite us to be a part of a crusade (I cringe), a revival or a mission.Now, I believe that God works in theworld in wondrous and mysterious ways.It is not for me to judge how others expe-rience God. Christ is the bread of life andI am hungry. But, I am a skeptic.

What stands out to me about these mail-ings is the emphasis placed on numbers.“200 souls were saved.” I am a pastor andpolitical scientist. As a political scientist Ihave some experience in collecting dataand interpreting numbers. It is often heard

that “numbers don’t lie.” It’s true, but our

interpretation of numbers may be wrong.Numbers don’t lie, but we don’t alwaysknow what they are saying.

Growth does not always equate withhealth, and decreasing numbers does notalways mean failure. We know this fromour faith stories across our different tradi-tions. Christians have just come throughHoly Week and Easter. On Palm Sunday,Jesus enters Jerusalem in triumph. Herides into the city on a donkey, a mockeryof the Roman Empire. He does this in themidst of a huge cheering crowd. Five dayslater, we observe Good Friday. Thecrowds are gone. The numbers have de-creased. Now the Romans are mocking Je-

sus. Did Jesus fail? No, we know differ-

ently.The number of people who stood before

the cross was not a good measure of whatit all meant and what it means for us today.Mainstream denominations are on the de-cline in the United States. I attend com-mittee meetings and pastoral visits wherepeople express sadness and frustration thatchurches are shrinking. Churches acrossour country are closing their doors. Igrieve with you, my friends, this is a hardtime. However, many of us have neverknown that world.

Children, teenagers and young adultshave never known a world in which“everyone” goes to church. Our teenagers

tell me that church isn’t popular, it is reolutionary. By attending church, they apushing back against the tide of culturThey are taking risks by attending churcYoung people I know are mocked, cricized and lose friends for seeking fait

And yet they still come. They are revoltionaries rebuilding our faith communitibefore our eyes. If you tell them their faicommunity is dying, I think they will teyou that you are wrong. They only knoa faith that is rising.

Though it may feel like Good Fridathe experience does not end at the foot the cross. Easter is past, present and futurNew life is coming. The story continuon beyond the cross and into the world othe resurrected Christ. Faith is rising.

Whatever you believe, may your sobe saved from the fear of decline and mait take flight in the hearts of new genertions.

Thank you, Children’s FundDear Editor:

For the past year, I have been collect-ing donations for a ceramic “slab roller”for a group of senior ladies and gentle-men in Azusa Senior Center. Because of budget cuts to education, all funding tothis and other senior classes has been cutback to zero.

As their teacher, it breaks my heart tosee them try to wedge and roll out clay

with their frail hands and fingers. I havebeen trying to find a new or used slabroller for them. As a result of the gener-ous donations of groups and individuals,we have finally reached our goal andhave purchased what we need.

I would like to thank the Clare-mont/West End auxiliary of Children’sFund for providing me an opportunity tosell my pottery and to donate a portionof the proceeds for this cause. I wouldalso like to thank the wonderful peopleof Claremont who contributed so gener-ously. I would also like to thank Mr. andMrs. Kelly Kidwell for sharing theirhome and good thoughts for the occa-sion.

I almost feel sad that all of you whodonated will not see the happy faces of those wonderful people in the ceramicclass when they use the “slab roller.” Weare looking forward to next year and an-other chance to help those in need.

Fighting for the ‘Frack Pack’Dear Editor:

As a leader in the environmental com-munity, the League of Women Voterslooks for solutions to address climatechange, protect our natural resources andpromote a clean energy economy. The

League recently endorsed, and is encour-aging members of Congress to cosponsorand support, five pieces of legislationknown as the “Frack Pack.”

These bills seek to keep our air andwater safe while holding big polluters re-sponsible for the process. The Frack Packbills will close loopholes in the SafeDrinking Water, Clean Water, Clean Airand Resource Conservation and Recov-ery Acts while establishing mandatorytesting of water resources to contain con-tamination.

Hydraulic fracturing commonly is theprocess used to extract natural gas and oilfrom deep inside the earth. The processinvolves injecting a highly pressurized

fluid consisting of chemicals, water andsand into deep rock formations in order toincrease access to and allow for oil andgas to flow freely. Drilling and fracking isexpanding across the country, and theLeague believes we must have updatedlaws to hold the oil and gas industry ac-countable to ensure our planet and its re-

sources are protected.We are concerned about the impact that

fracking may have on our natural re-sources and public health. Pro-frackingadvocates argue that increasing access tothese fossil fuels enables new energysources that have a positive impact on oureconomy. But environmental advocates,including the League, argue it puts our airand water in danger.

Specifically, there are concerns that thewater used for fracking, which is infusedwith sand and chemicals, contaminatesground water. Fracking also uses any-where from 70,000 to 140,000 gallons ayear across the United States. With waterresources in jeopardy in most of the west-ern US, this could have a major impact onthe depletion of the fresh water supplieswe need to survive.

Questions remain about the effect of re-leasing methane gas, which contributes toclimate change. During the frackingprocess, methane is released into the airthrough the venting of wells to reducepressure and through leaks in the system.The League of Women Voters has calledon the Environmental Protection Agencyto regulate methane from the oil and gasindustry as a key part of the president’spledge to reduce greenhouse emissions inthe Climate Action Plan.

The League also wants to make surthat the oil and gas industry is held accountable for the chemicals used in thfracking process. The public deservecomplete transparency and disclosure othe chemicals being used, so that communities across the country can be awaof any dangerous health risks.

In addition to lobbying to gain suppofor the Frack Pack in Congress, thLeague has also worked to address th

issue of fracking by offering comment tthe Bureau of Land Management abouthe need for regulations on fracking ofederal lands. The League has also testfied to the EPA’s Science Advisory Boarabout the need for a comprehensivtransparent, science-based, peer-reviewestudy on its potential impact on drinkinwater resources.

A path toward a clean energy futuwill strengthen our economy by openinup millions of jobs to Americans whialso rescuing America from its dependence on fossil fuels, reducing threats tour health and protecting the natural resources that we depend upon for surviva

As the nation shifts towards establish

ing an economy around renewable energand decreasing the size of its carbon fooprint, the League will be there to ensurthat we’re also establishing accountabiity and safeguards to protect public healtand the environment Ellen Taylo

Poets are known for la-boring alone, often withlittle recognition and

less financial remuneration. Sowinning the annual Kingsley

Tufts Poetry Award, offered bythe Claremont Graduate Uni-versity to a mid-career poetwho has achieved much and isexpected to achieve muchmore, is a boon for a writer.

It’s an honor that comes with grow-ing notice, including write-ups in publi-cations like the Los Angeles Times and

New York Times. It also entails a$100,000 prize.

The money is life-changing for thisyear’s winner Angie Estes, who tookthe prize for her fifth book of poetryEnchantée, because she has eschewed

the advice tendered to creative typeseverywhere: “Don’t quit your day job.”Most poets make ends meet through

teaching. Ms. Estes has kept a toe in ac-ademia, serving on the faculty of Ash-land University’s low-residency MFAprogram. But she left behind a full-timeprofessorship, teaching American litera-ture and creative writing at Cal PolySan Luis Obispo, years ago. Her expla-nation is simple: she needed time towrite.

“You don’t just happen to sit down ata computer or pick up a pen and pen-

cil,” she said. “The job of the poet is topay attention to the world. And it takesa whole life to pay attention.”

Ms. Estes was awarded the KingsleyTufts prize at an April 16 ceremony atPomona College’s Rose Hills Theater,followed by an al fresco dinner atCGU’s President’s House.

Over the course of the evening, thepoet and the art of poetry were widelypraised. Also receiving accolades,

along with the $10,000 Kate Tufts Dis-covery Award, was Brandon Som forThe Tribute Horse. The latter isawarded each year to a writer whosedebut book of poetry shows him to be“a poet of genuine promise.”

Fulfilling your poetic promise is asmuch about surrender as it is about con-

trol, according to Ms. Estes.“I never know where the next poem

is coming from. It’s not like I can willpoem to happen, or even say what mynext poem will be about. It’s a contemplative act. It’s a process of lettingthings drift up to consciousness so the

come together in a new way.”While the end product is a mystery

Ms. Estes knows which conditions sheneeds to get into a writer’s mindset, astate Flannery O’Connor called “a habof being.”

Ms. Estes reads hungrily, and tries tspend at least a month-and-a-half eachyear in Italy or France. “So much of what I write comes out of cultural ex-posure, whether to visual art or to his-tory,” she said.

The influences of the written wordand the traveled world are evident inMs. Estes’ work, which blends theold—Catholic saints, Roman deities,Italian sculpture and Medieval writ-

ers—with the new (“So many stars totouch on the iPad of the night. . .”).

Ms. Estes may not toil as a full-timeprofessor, but Enchanteé’s pages arepeppered with instructive italics as sheexplores the etymology of words—French, Italian, Greek, Arabic—fortheir substrata meaning and aestheticappeal.

There’s humor, too, as in the poem“Afternoon”: “I knew it was time/totake a break from writing poems/whenthe woman at the bank asked what kindof/form I need to have notarized, and Isaid power/of eternity.”

Truthfully, though, Ms. Estes rarelytakes a break from writing poetry. Nordoes Brandon Som who, like Ms. Estes,

is fascinated with the sound as well asthe sense of words.

He chalks his love of linguistics up tohis background, which is half-Chinese,half-Mexican. Mr. Som grew up speak-ing only English, with Spanish andMandarin words cascading around himat family gatherings. “Early on, I wasimmersed in the music of language andnot its meaning,” he says.

While he sometimes felt like an out-sider, being surrounded by foreigntongues can help forge a writer. “Youdevelop a sense of interiority,” he said.

Accordingly, in The Tribute Horse,he coaxes the reader to slow downand—like the non-native speaker—

focus on the shape of words and thephysical acts required to utter them.

One of the words he uses most oftenas a meditative point is the name“Som.” It is the surname this grandfa-ther assumed at the age of 12 when heentered the United States as a “paper

son,” posing as the scion of a US citi-zen to circumvent the Chinese Exclu-sion Act.

Brandon spends much of the firstpart of The Tribute Horse meditatingon the “karaoke of waves” as his ances-tor studied coaching papers to pass im-migration and spoke his new namealoud to the sea: “What ensued,” Mr.Som insists, “was a debt of sound.”

Mr. Som also explores his Mexican

ancestry, with references to JuanDiego’s sighting of the Lady of Guadalupe, followed by a petal-strewnmiracle.

Think of The Tribute Horse as apork dumpling taco. Or, as the poetDavid St. John said, “This collection of iridescent cross-cultural meditations iswildly inventive and deeply consolingfrom its first syllable to its last.”

Mr. Som is a hardworking man, jug-gling writing with a post at USC wherehe teaches composition in The WritingProgram. He is also working toward aPhD there. So affirmation provided bythe Kate Tufts Prize, plus some moneytoward his student loans, is likewise

consoling.“I’ve been reading the works of Tufts

recipients for years,” he said. “It’samazing to receive this prominentaward.”
