Winter

Can't wait for spring.

Winter

Winter comes when a woman
goes cold on you
when the butterfly leaves your hand
and when the hummingbird
no longer stands still
and when nothing rests on a bare branch.

FEATURED ISSUE

An Offering of Rice
ISBN: 0-910043-76-0
33% OFF COVER PRICE! Winner of the Hawai‘i Book Publishers Association Ka Palapala Po‘okela Honorable Mention Award for Excellence in Literature An [b]Offering of Rice[/b] is written with a careful narrative restraint that results in a striking honesty, short stories and poems that are rich in visual clarity and deeply moving in their treatment of the subjects of bi-cultural life, family, illness, and individual identity. As a hybrid of fiction and poetry, this is one of the best blending of those two disciplines in our literature, and among the stories in this collection is the single best piece on cancer that I have ever read. - [b][i]Ian MacMillan[/i][/b] This long awaited book of stories from Mavis Hara is everything we hoped for—and more. Gritty and tough-minded, lyrical by turns, this is no mere nostalgic feel-good journey to the plantation past. There is here a wealth of fine observation, a nuance and precision of detail—the naming of telling human gestures that go unnamed except for the poet and storytellers' art. - [b][i]Sylvia Watanabe[/i][/b]
