Description:
For this collection the Hawai'i Award for Literature recipients were asked to write about people living in some way apart or outside of the mainstream: the immigrant woman struggling with her letter-writing, the eccentric neighbor, the woman who goes sailing in the South Pacific, the fugitive, the plantation family, the abused, the woman hostage. Included in the biographical notes are brief comments from the writers responding to each other's work. Each piece depicts island life as complex, multi-voiced, and multi-layered. They value tradition and connection to place and ultimately we conclude that the quiet voices are not quiet at all. They are strong, powerful and eloquent. And they compel us to listen.
