>>> WELCOME TO "BROAD & HIGH."

I'M YOUR HOST, KATE QUICKEL.

FOR THE LAST 16 YEARS, FRANKLIN PARK CONSERVATORY HAS HOSTED ITS ANNUAL GINGERBREAD COMPETITION.

THIS YEAR'S THEME IS THROWBACK TO YOUR FAVORITE ERA.

WE TALKED TO ONE OF THE JUDGES AND A MULTIYEAR WINNER TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS HOLIDAY TRADITION.

!

!musiC@!!!musiC@!

>> I CAN'T IMAGINE THE EFFORT THAT WENT INTO THESE GINGERBREAD HOUSES.

I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH TIME, JUST THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF HOW IT -- WHAT KIND OF A GINGERBREAD HOUSE AM I GOING TO MAKE AND, YOU KNOW, THEY PROBABLY THREW A BUNCH OF IDEAS OUT AT THE DINNER TABLE WITH THEIR FAMILY AND THEN THEY SAY, OH, MOM, WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A BEACH SCENE.

>> I LOVE BAKING.

I LOVE GINGERBREAD HOUSES.

I LOVE ALL THAT STUFF THAT SORT OF LIKE JUST LIKE IS LIKE HOW DID THAT HAPPEN.

I THINK FROM THAT STANDPOINT I WAS JUST SUPER EXCITED AND HONORED.

>> I LOVE THAT IT'S A TRIBUTE TO THEIR DOGS.

>> WHAT I'VE TRIED NOT TO INCLUDE ON MY JUDGING IS THE HEARTFELT STORIES BEHIND WHY PEOPLE BUILT WHAT THEY BUILT.

THEY WERE SO SWEET THAT EASILY COULD HAVE SWAYED ME, BUT WHAT I REALLY TRIED TO LOOK FOR IS DID THEY FOLLOW WHAT THE THEME WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, DID THEY USE A VARIETY OF MEDIUM, I GUESS, IS A GRADE WORD FOR T THERE WAS SOME FOLKS WHO USED CEREAL IN THEIRS AND SOME PEOPLE WHO USED CANDIES AND I LOVE TO SEE JUST KIND OF THE CREATIVITY BEHIND WHAT PEOPLE CHOSE TO INCLUDE.

>> AND THIS IS GENIUS BUT THE STRUCTURE UNDER IT, BUT THE SAL TEENS ARE SO MUCH LIGHTER, THAT'S THE HARDEST THING ABOUT GINGERBREAD IS IT'S SO HEAVY.

>> WE DID THIS LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THIS YEAR AND MY KIDS ARE LITTLE SO ANY EXTRA TRADITION THAT WE START IS JUST REALLY SPECIAL FOR OUR FAMILY.

>> THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT TRIES, I CAN TELL YOU THAT.

THERE'S ONE PREVIOUS ONE THAT COLLAPSED AND IN THE TRASH NOW.

BUT DECORATING IT WAS FUN.

I GET TO PLAY WITH ISOMELT WHICH I'VE NEVER USED BEFORE AND IT TURNS INTO THE GLASS, SO THAT WAS NEW THIS YEAR AND FUN.

SO WE WILL BE DOING IT FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN NOW.

>> IT'S JUST SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY YEAR.

I REALLY LIKE ART AND IT'S LIKE SOMETHING THAT I CAN REALLY EXPRESS MYSELF WITH AND I LOVE ADDING LIKE THE LITTLE DETAILS AND ADDING LIKE A NEW LITTLE TRICK OR TIP TO IT.

SO WE STARTED DOING MARZIPAN THINGS LIKE THREE YEARS AGO AND I LOVE THAT STUFF.

IT TASTES -- IT TASTES REALLY GOOD, AND I END UP EATING LIKE HALF THE STUFF I MAKE.

>> BEFORE I STARTED GINGERBREAD I ALWAYS LIKED TO DO A BIT OF RESEARCH ON THE SIDE, OF LOOKING AT OTHER PEOPLE'S GINGERBREAD AND OTHER PEOPLE'S ART AND STUFF.

SO BEFORE I START I ALWAYS DRAW A PICTURE OF WHAT I WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE OR AN IDEA OF LIKE THE BASICS OF WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE AND THEN I JUST GO FROM THERE AND CUT OUT ALL THE GINGERBREAD PARTS AND START CONSTRUCTING IT AND THEN IT JUST TURNS OUT.

>> ONE OF MY FAVORITE ONES WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL ONES I DID, MY FIRST ONE, IT WAS A MONKEY TREE HOUSE AND IT IS WHEN I WAS LIKE A LITTLE, LITTLE KID.

I TOOK MY HAND PRINT AND TRACED IT AND THOSE WERE THE BRANCHES ON THE SIDES AND I'VE ALWAYS LOVED MONKEYS AND I GOT ACTUAL MONKEY FOOD TREATS FROM MY GRANDPA WHO WORKS AT THE ZOO AND WE PUT THEM ON THE ROOF AS TILES.

>> THE FIRST ONE WE DID WAS LIKE A FAMILY DESIGN AND IT WAS REALLY BAD.

WE WERE LITTLE KIDS AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WE WERE KIND OF GLUING THINGS ON JUST DON'T WHATEVER THE HECK WE WANTED TO DO, BUT THEN LIKE AFTER A WHILE WE DEVELOPED LIKE THE TYPE OF GINGERBREAD THAT WE NEEDED TO USE AND THE WAYS THAT YOU PUT IT TOGETHER AND HOW TO MAKE IT LIKE LOOK PROFESSIONAL AND GOOD.

WE FOUND A REALLY GOOD RECIPE ONE YEAR AND THEN WE JUST CONTINUED TO USE IT EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

IT'S NOT ACTUALLY EDIBLE.

IT WOULD TASTE TERRIBLE IF YOU ATE IT.

IT TASTES LIKE CARDBOARD.

SO IT'S A VERY STRUCTURAL GINGERBREAD THAT WE USE AND, I MEAN, IF YOU DROPPED IT WOULD SHATTER.

LIKE IT DOESN'T BEND.

YOU DRY IT OUT SO THAT IT'S LIKE ROCK HARD AND THEN IT STAYS UP.

>> I'M JUST GOING TO TAKE THE GINGERBREAD OUT, WE'RE GOING TO PUT THEM INTO A BIG BOWL SO THAT I CAN ROLL IT OUT INTO FLAT PARTS.

I'M GOING TO USE THESE THINGS BECAUSE THEY WILL ALL BE THE SAME THICKNESS ALL THE WAY AROUND.

!

!musiC@!!!musiC@!

>> IT REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD, YOUNGER -- YOU KNOW, MOM MAKING GINGERBREAD HOUSES LIKE SHE DID, IT WAS VERY SIMPLE, THERE WASN'T ANYTHING FANCY ABOUT IT, A LITTLE FROSTING ON THE ROOF AND THAT'S WHAT SHE DID TO THEM, WITH THE SEVEN KIDS WE APPRECIATED THAT.

I THINK THAT YOU LOOK AT THESE THINGS IT'S AN ART WHAT THEY'VE DONE.

DUSTIN HAS A PASSION FOR TELLING THE STORIES OF PEOPLE AND INSPIRING THOSE WHEN HE CAN.

LET'S HEAR FROM DUSTIN AND LISTEN TO SOME OF HIS WRITINGS.

>> RELIC.

THE LAST OF HER KIND.

SHE PERCHES ON A ROCK, HALF-SUBMERGED IN A SEA.

FAR REACHING TIDES ROLL FREELY, UNBROKEN BY OAR AND BOWEL.

THE SIREN WHO ONCE SANG TEMPTATION TO SAILORS, SHE KANTILATES A CLOSED-MOUTH TUNE BEFORE SHIPS.

SHE WONDERS WHY THEY DON'T COME ANYMORE.

NO WHITE SAILS LIKE CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON, NO WOODEN SHIPS FARING THE SEA.

IN THE NARRATIVE OF EVERY MARINER SHE IS A RELIC OF ANTIQUITY.

SINGING ON A ROCK UNTIL A FAR CALL AND SHE FADES FROM MEMORY.

>> MY NAME IS DUSTIN HOWARD AND I AM THE CURRENT CITY OF RENO POET LAUREATE.

A POET LAUREATE IS AN HONORARY REPRESENTATIVE FOR POETRY AND THE ARTS IN A COMMUNITY.

USUALLY APPOINTED BY A GOVERNING BODY, IN MY CASE THE CITY OF RENO.

MY ROLE AS POET LAUREATE IS TO BE AN AMBASSADOR FOR POETRY AND THE ARTS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

I GOT INTO POETRY WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL MY FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE ENGLISH TEACHER SPOKE POETRY AND IT WAS SOMETHING I TOOK TO IMMEDIATELY.

POETRY WAS SOMETHING THAT I USED TO KIND OF EXPLORE MYSELF AND KIND OF THE WORLD AROUND ME, ESPECIALLY IN MY FIRST COLLECTION OF POEMS, THAT WAS THE RUNNING THEME, IT WAS DELIBERATELY AN EXPLORATION OF MEMORIES, STARTING WITH THE EARLIEST MEMORY THAT I HAD GOING WAY BACK TO WHEN I WAS LIKE 3 OR 4 YEARS OLD AND THEN IT CHARTS, YOU KNOW, THE PROGRESSION OF MY GROWTH KIND OF INTO ADULTHOOD AND SORT OF THAT JOURNEY, HITTING SPECIFIC BEATS AND KIND OF IMPORTANT MEMORIES.

THAT WAS A VERY SORT OF CATHARTIC EXPERIENCE GETTING TO KIND OF RELIVE AND WORK BACK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE EMOTIONAL TRAUMAS AND SOME OF THOSE, YOU KNOW, MOMENTS OF REALLY PURE JOY.

POETRY IS ONE OF THE FEW MEDIUMS THAT ALLOWS AN ARTIST LIKE THAT TO CONNECT ON A VERY DEEP PERSONAL SORT OF REFLECTIVE LEVEL.

>> SUMMER 1999.

7 YEARS OLD AND NOT A CARE IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT OF MOM'S RED SEDAN.

A FORT, I THINK, OR MAYBE A CHEVY.

IN THE BACK SEAT MY SIBLINGS 3 AND 5, WHERE ARE WE GOING?

NOWHERE.

ON THE RADIO THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER.

MAMBO NUMBER 5 SEEMS TO PLAY ON REPEAT, IT'S CATCHY AND WE SING ALONG.

AROUND TOWN RUNNING ERRANDS WE VISIT THE GROCERY STORE, THE GAS STATION AND THE BANK.

WE STOP FOR LUNCH AND RUN SOME MORE.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

SOMEWHERE.

ON THE RADIO THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT A SCRUB IS, BUT I KNOW TLC DON'T WANT ONE.

I SIT IN THE CAR WITH MY SIBLINGS, A COLORING BOOK OF THE PHANTOM MENACE IN MY LAP AND JAR JAR FRUIT SNACKS.

I THINK I WANT TO BE A JEDI.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

ANYWHERE.

ON THE RADIO THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER, THE LATIN FLARE OF CARLOS SANTANA IS SMOOTH, HOTTER THAN THAT SUMMER SUN.

TIME TO GO BACK TO OUR FATHER.

SHE DROPS US OFF AND SAYS GOOD-BYE.

IT'S DUSK AND COOL AND I MISS THE CAR, GOING NOWHERE, SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE.

ON THE RADIO THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER, THE AUTO TUNED TECH KNOW POP OF CHER TRYING TO BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER LOVE.

GROWN UP NOW AND TOO MANY CARES TO LIST, I WONDER ABOUT HER THAT SUMMER, ALL ALONE IN HER RED SEDAN, DRIVING TO ONE OF THREE JOBS, TO MAKE ENDS MEET, TO FIGHT FOR US AS THE STRUGGLE FOR CUSTODY CONTINUED.

ON THE RADIO THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER.

DID THEY CUT THROUGH THE QUIET IN THE CAR?

DOES SHE REMEMBER THEM AS FONDLY AS ME?

>> YOU CAN FIND POETRY REALLY ALL AROUND YOU.

NOT JUST IN POETRY BOOKS.

POETRY IS MUSIC, POETRY IS, YOU KNOW, ART, POETRY, I THINK, MOST IMPORTANTLY, IS IN ALL OF THE LITTLE MOMENTS THAT YOU EXPERIENCE IN LIFE.

IT'S THOSE SMALL THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY.

IT'S THE QUIET STILLNESS BY THE LAKE.

IT'S THE RUSH OF TRAFFIC AS YOU'RE STANDING ON THE STREET CORNER.

POETRY IS EVERYWHERE.

POETRY IS REALLY JUST CAPTURING THOSE VERY HUMAN MOMENTS WHERE WE'RE REFLECTIVE AND KIND OF CONTEMPLATING OURSELVES AND OUR PLACE.

IT'S REALLY KIND OF ALL AROUND US.

I ALWAYS THINK OF JOHN KEITH'S POEM "BRIGHT STAR WHERE I STEAD FEST THOU ART."

THE SPEAKER OF THE POEM HAS HIS HEADRESTED ON THE CHEST OF HIS LOVER AND HE JUST WANTS TO STAY KIND OF IN THAT MOMENT FOR FOREVER.

HERE WE HAVE SOMEBODY WRITING 200 YEARS AGO ABOUT WHAT IS A VERY REAL AND HUMAN EMOTION THAT WE AS READERS STILL CONNECT WITH.

THE POWER OF POETRY REALLY IS THE ABILITY TO BRIDGE THAT GAP BETWEEN SPACE AND TIME AND TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE SOMEWHERE HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO FELT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY I MIGHT FEEL NOW.

IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR READERS TO CONNECT IN SOME BIG OR SMALL WAY WITH THE WORDS YOU'VE PUT ON THE PAGE AND TO KNOW THAT MY WORK MIGHT BE MAKING SOME SMALL DIFFERENCE IN A PERSON'S LIFE IS IMMENSELY REWARDING FOR ME.

IT'S KIND OF LIKE AN OPEN LETTER TO THE READER.

IT'S A LETTER NOT FOR ME, BUT FOR SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, SOME DAY TO OPEN AND FIND THEMSELVES IN THE WORDS AND ON THE PAGE.

>> THE TABLE.

ACQUIRED SOME TIME AGO, IT IS THE HEART OF THE FAMILY HOME.

SILENT WITNESS TO EVERY HIGH AND LOW, TOGETHER RELATIVES WHO HAD FAR ROAMED.

ITS SCARRED TOP KEEPING RECORD LIKE A THOME OF CHERISHED OCCASIONS AND HOLIDAYS.

WHICH IN FINITE DETAIL RECOUNTS THE WAY THAT WE LIKE BILLOWED EMBERS WOULD ALIGHT AROUND THE OLD TABLE TO SET ABLAZE CONVERSATIONS THAT BURNED LONG THROUGH THE NIGHT.

>> TO HEAR MORE FROM DUSTIN CHECK HIM OUT AT DTHBOOKS.COM.

>>> AUTHOR JYOTSNA SREENIVASAN WRITES ABOUT WHAT SHE KNOWS, WHICH IS BEING AN INDIAN AMERICAN.

SHE WRITES FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

WHILE HER STORIES ARE FICTION, HER GOAL IS TO CREATE A CONNECTION WITH THE READER.

LET'S LEARN MORE ABOUT HER JOURNEY.

>> EVEN WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID I REMEMBER BEFORE I COULD READ LOOKING AT MY FATHER'S HANDWRITING AND JUST BEING DESPERATE TO KNOW WHAT IT SAID, JUST DESPERATE TO KNOW HOW TO READ, AND I WAS SO THRILLED WHEN I LEARNED HOW TO READ.

I STARTED WRITING LITTLE STORIES AND POEMS WHEN I WAS A KID.

ONE OF MY FIRST CHILDREN'S NOVELS WAS CALLED A RIN NA'S JOURNEYS AND IT'S ABOUT AN INDIAN AMERICAN GIRL GROWING UP IN OHIO.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE I GOT THAT IDEA.

I WROTE IT PARTLY BECAUSE I LOVED TO READ AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY BOOKS THAT REPRESENTED WHO I WAS GROWING UP IN OHIO.

YOU KNOW, BOOKS ABOUT -- I WOULD SEE BOOKS THAT WERE ABOUT FOLK TALES TAKING PLACE IN INDIA OR BOOKS ABOUT ELEMENTARY KIDS LIKE THE RAMANA BOOKS BY I LOVED OR THE LITTLE HOUSE IN THE BIG WOODS WHICH I LOVED.

I THINK I ALMOST WROTE IT FOR MY PARENTS BECAUSE GROWING UP WE HAD A LOT OF CULTURE CLASHES THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY I THOUGHT I WAS AMERICAN.

I AM AMERICAN AND THEY WERE LIKE, NO, YOU'RE INDIAN.

SO THAT STRUGGLE I COULDN'T EVER GET -- I COULDN'T EVER COMMUNICATE THAT PROPERLY TO MY PARENTS.

SO MY PARENTS ARE IMMIGRANTS SO THEY ARE WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER THE FIRST AMERICAN GENERATION AND I'M THE CHILD OF IMMIGRANTS SO I SAY SECOND GENERATION.

PEOPLE -- SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT I WOULD BE A FIRST GENERATION AMERICAN BUT I LIKE TO SAY SECOND GENERATION BECAUSE THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE IMMIGRANT GENERATION IS ALSO AN AMERICAN GENERATION.

TO ME AND I AM BIASED BECAUSE I'M SECOND GENERATION THE TRANSITION FROM IMMIGRANT TO AMERICAN IS ONE OF THE FOUNDATIONAL STORIES OF OUR COUNTRY.

A LOT OF US SHARES AN IMMIGRANT HERITAGE YET A LOT OF US IDENTIFY AS AMERICAN.

WHERE DOES THAT TRANSITION HAPPEN?

AND I THINK A LOT OF TIMES IT HAPPENS IN THE SECOND GENERATION.

WE GROW UP IN THIS COUNTRY, WE HAVE AN AMERICAN ACCENT, WE DON'T HAVE THE ACCENT THAT OUR PARENTS HAVE FROM THE ANCESTRAL COUNTRY.

WE SEE OURSELVES TO BE AMERICANS AND SOMETIMES OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING AT US SAY, NO, WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM?

AND I SAY, YOU KNOW, I SAY I'M FROM OHIO.

WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM?

AND THEY'RE CURIOUS.

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, WELL, WHAT MAKES A PERSON AMERICAN?

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO BE AMERICAN?

AND I THINK THAT IS A STRUGGLE THAT A LOT OF SECOND-GENERATION PEOPLE GO THROUGH AND THAT CAN INFORM US AS WE GROW OLDER AND START TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS SOCIETY.

SO THIS IS MY NEW BOOK IT'S CALLED "THESE AMERICANS" AND IT'S A COLLECTION OF EIGHT SHORT STORIES AND A NOVELLA AND, AGAIN, THEY ARE ALL ABOUT INDIAN AMERICANS.

A LOT OF THE STORIES TAKE PLACE IN THE MIDWEST OR IN OHIO AND THEY ARE ARRANGED BY THE AGE OF THE SECOND GENERATION CHARACTER.

SO IN THE VERY FIRST STORY WHICH IS CALLED MIRROR THE NEW IMMIGRANT MOM IS GIVING BIRTH TO HER AMERICAN DAUGHTER.

IT'S BASED ON THE STORY THAT MY MOM TOLD ME ABOUT MY BIRTH.

I LOVE THE COVER OF THIS.

SO THIS PICTURE OF THE MOM WITH THE BABY, THAT IS BASED ON A PICTURE OF MY MOM HOLDING ME.

THAT IS MY MOM HOLDING ME.

AND SO THEN THE ARTIST FLIPPED IT AND THEN THE IDEA THAT THE BABY GROWS UP AND SHE HAS HER OWN CHILD.

AND THE OTHER THING THAT NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE NOTICED IS THAT THE COLORS OF THE MOM'S SARI ARE KIND OF LIKE THE AMERICAN FLAG AND THEN THE AMERICAN DAUGHTER HAS COLORS INSPIRED BY THE INDIAN FLAG.

SO THE GREEN AND THE ORANGE, LIKE THAT.

SO THAT THERE'S THE MIXING OF THE CULTURES.

I HAVE WRITTEN A LOT OF STORIES THAT WERE BASED ON MY LIFE, BASED ON KIND OF THE CULTURAL CLASH OR MELDING OF, YOU KNOW, INDIAN CULTURE, AMERICAN CULTURE, INDIAN AMERICAN WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

IT'S HARD.

SO I FEEL LIKE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF FAILURE ALONG THE WAY, A LOT OF LEARNING ALONG THE WAY.

I THINK THE HARDEST PART FOR ME IS GETTING MYSELF OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE AT FIRST I THINK -- AT LEAST FOR ME I'M PUTTING IT ON THE PAGE AND I'M LIKE IT IS SO IMPRESSIVE, EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE SO IMPRESSED WITH ME.

THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT AS A FICTION WRITER BECAUSE YOU WANT THE READER TO BE INVOLVED WITH YOUR CHARACTER.

SO FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO LEARN ABOUT WHO THAT CHARACTER IS, WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT, WHERE THEY ARE, WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT, WHAT THEY REALLY WANT, IT TOOK A WHILE TO GET TO THAT POINT WHERE THE READER WAS ENGAGED AND INTERESTED AND EXCITED AND SO IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS.

WHEN YOU READ FICTION AND YOU BECOME THAT CHARACTER YOU KIND OF SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THAT PERSON'S EYES, YOU UNDERSTAND, YOU EMPATHIZE.

SO I THINK THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT I HOPE THE READER WILL GET.
