In this episode, guest host Isabel Silagy discusses Amanda Gorman’s latest body of work, Call Us What We Carry, in celebration of National Poetry Month. Gorman, who performed at Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration, is widely considered to be the poetic voice of her generation. With this latest collection of her poems, it is easy to see why.

Call Us What We Carry conveys both grief for the past, specifically in the last two years of the coronavirus pandemic, and hope for the future. Gorman uses her emotive prose to capture the attention and heart of her readers, and Call Us What We Carry has cemented her as a force in the literary world for many years to come.

To celebrate National Poetry Month or simply a love of books, be sure to check out the Los Angeles Times’ Festival of Books on Saturday, April 23–Sunday, April 24. Held on the University of Southern California campus, the festival will host a series of interactive panels with exciting guests, including Gorman herself. You can find all of the relevant information on the festival, tickets, and transportation at events.latimes.com/festivalofbooks.

For this episode, guest host Leila Nunez discusses and reads a passage of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. This controversial book quickly became a best-seller among readers when it was published in 1962. Many credit it to be the catalyst for the environmental movement.

Rachel Carson was born in 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania and grew up with a deep connection to the nature around her. A writer and marine biologist, she wrote many pieces on conservation and the environment during her time as Editor-in-Chief of all publications for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and later resigned to focus more on her writing.

In the book, Carson calls into question the current agricultural practices at the time which used a now illegal pesticide, DDT. DDT was harmful not only to pests, but also to humans and wildlife. Carson calls for change from the government and from all mankind to make a difference. Many of what is argued in the book is still relevant today, which is why Silent Spring is still a fundamental book of the environmental movement.

The Dirtbags set a historic school record with a lopsided score 28-2 against Cal Poly, with the record of biggest score differential in a game and most hits (32) in a game. They were unable to fight off Cal Poly, though, dropping two games in the three game series.

#2 Men's volleyball are unable to overcome #10 UC Davis following a sweep in the first game of a split home-away series. The 3-2 loss in the second encounter still has the Beach atop the standings in the Big West as the regular season nears its end.

Toni Morrison is a prolific author, she wrote 11 novels as well as children’s books and essay collections.

Morrison writes the story of a young black girl named Pecola who grew up following the Great Depression. The novel is about how she feels and is constantly thought of as "ugly" due to her mannerisms and dark skin. As a result, she develops an obsession for blue eyes which she equates with "whiteness."
