Poetry. Native American Studies. Eric Chock has taught with the Hawai'i Poets-in-the-Schools program since the early '70s and is currently the coordinator of the project. This book, edited by Chock, is a collection of poems from his students: Most of the poems in this book were written by 8 to 12 year old public school children, with a sprinkling of poems by intermediate and high school students. I would like to express my thanks to them for keeping poetry alive and well in Hawaii. Chock's own book of poetry, LAST DAYS HERE, is also available from SPD.

Anniversary Anthology Celebrating BAMBOO RIDGE and 45 Years of Literary Mischief-making in Hawai&#699;i. Bamboo Ridge Press founding editors Eric Chock and Darrell H. Y. Lum return with Juliet S. Kono to curate a new anniversary anthology celebrating 45 years of literary mischief-making in Hawai&#699;i. With contributions from sixty-eight talented writers, BAMBOO RIDGE, JOURNAL OF HAWAI'I LITERATURE AND ARTS ISSUE #124 features poems and stories that explore themes of cultural identity, art, resistance, and community. It's a collection that honors the resilience of local storytelling and Hawai&#699;i's literary spirit, reaffirming Bamboo Ridge's commitment to foster, embrace, and preserve AANHPI voices. With over 400 pages, Issue #124 is one of the largest in the press's history. The cover art is inspired by an original photo taken by Darrell Lum in 1978 of the East O'ahu fishing spot known as Bamboo Ridge, where hand-painted warnings adorned the rocky path. He titled the photo "Abunai," the Japanese word for "dangerous." The choice of "Abunai" as the cover theme pays homage to the nonprofit publisher's audacious beginnings. At its inception, Bamboo Ridge Press embarked on a mission that many considered "abunai," opposing dominant narratives and stereotypes about Hawai'i and its people and taking a daring stand on the importance and value of local literature. The challenges faced in those early days have persisted as Bamboo Ridge Press remains dedicated to publishing works by, for, or about the people of Hawai'i and the Pacific--often making waves and navigating financial precarity. "For all the writers who have appeared in BAMBOO RIDGE, there are many more who were just encouraged by its existence to speak and write. Bamboo Ridge is the spring that became a stream that created a muliwai, rich with mixing, before reaching the ocean." --Juliet S. Kono Miscellaneous. Poetry. Fiction. Essay. Magazine.
