Today we have on the show Brynn Saito. Brynn is the author of two books of poetry and co-founder of Yonsei Memory Project (YMP). YMP uses art and storytelling to connect the WWII-era incarceration of the Japanese American community with current struggles for justice. Her poetry has been nominated for a Northern California Book Award and her work has appeared in the New York Times, Vogue, and American Poetry Review. Currently, Brynn is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing and English at California State University, Fresno, located on Yokuts land. This conversation was great fun and is occasionally or often quite nerdy.
