Dramas & Plays

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.

Poetry

Poetry. Edited and translated from the Japanese by Jiro Nakano and Kay Nakano. This anthology of tanka poems, translated from Japanese into English, paints a deeply personal profile of life in the Wartime Relocation Camps during WWII. The short (31 syllable) traditional Japanese poetry form, tanka, offers an economical account of the inner lives of four internees, whose work was originally published in camp magazines and later in anthologies and Japanese newspapers in Hawai'i. The collection includes illustrations by camp artist George Hoshida and the featured poets—Keiho Soga, Taisanboku Mori, Sojin Takei, and Muin Ozaki. Winner of the 1985 Before Columbus Foundation American Book Award.

Short Stories & Anthologies

This collection of poetry by the 1970 Discovery Award winner speaks of the author's Chinese American heritage: his ancestors in China, his family in Hawaii, and forging a Chinese American identity. He also speaks of racial discrimination and the obscenity of ethnic stereotypes with astute and unforgiving clarity.
