aloha kakou,
Uluhaimalama, a collection of poetry by Mahealani Perez-Wendt, is being
launched by Kuleana 'Oiwi Press (the publisher of 'oiwi: a native
hawaiian journal) at the UH Manoa Art Auditorium on Saturday, March 15th from
5:30-8:30 pm.
Scheduled to read poetry for the event include Mahealani Perez-Wendt,
along with other indigenous poets and writers Joy Harjo, Albert Wendt,
Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl, 'Imaikalani Kalahele, Brandy Nalani McDougall
and Ku'ualoha Ho'omanawanui.
Though this is her premiere collection, Mahealani Perez-Wendt has been
writing and publishing her poetry throughout Hawai'i, the Pacific, and
the United States for the past 30 years. She is the recipient of an
Elliott Cades Award for Literature.
Uluhaimalama also marks the premiere of Kuleana 'Oiwi Press' Ho'oulu
Hou Wayne Kaumualii Westlake series featuring individual collections of
Kanaka Maoli literature.
Hope to see you there!
