Title
Honua - Paperback
by Sage Uilani Takehiro (Author)
This collection of postcolonial poems by an emerging Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) young woman poet from Hilo, Hawaii reflects a politically resistant fusion of hip hop, slam, hula, chant and mele. The title, Honua, means "land" or "earth." Poet Michael McPherson describes the collection of poems as "torrents of language whose raw intensity buries social complacency as though under molten stone."
