Reading

Brandon Som reads from his Pulitzer Prize-winning collection Tripas (2023), sharing poems focused on his Mexican American and Chinese American grandparents, particularly their experiences living and working in Phoenix, Arizona. Throughout the poems, images of circuitry and electronics link the poems back to his Chicana grandmother's work in a Motorola factory.
