This collection of poems, written in both pidgin and standard English, centers on the local Japanese experience in Hawaii. Novelist Juliet Kono describes the collection as having "a new, energetic voice, full of insight and wisdom... The images in the poems are lively, yet beautiful in their rendering, the book an example of how craft and tenaciousness have been intertwined to create such lovely poems." Juliet S. Kono. Author of Hilo Rains and Tsunami Years.
