“We have at least 11 prize-winning writers
in this issue, and the pieces cover a wide range of subjects,
from a Hawaiian tutu’s younger days, and a Minnesota winter’s
day, to a beautiful poem about a soap bubble,” said Patrice
M. Wilson, Review editor. “I particularly love the cover
this year, by Hawaiian artist Puni Kukahiko. The colors and symbolism
are striking, and they are explained in the About the Artist
section of the magazine,” she added.
“
Much of modern literature is not meant to be fun but eye opening,” said
HPU President Chatt G. Wright. “There are aspects of its
execution [here]that make some of the most interesting pieces
of literary art.”
The Review was created in 1986 as a forum for student creative
writing and has widened its selected authorship to include written
pieces from contributors from Hawai‘i, the mainland, and
all over the world. Submissions to the magazine have swelled
to 1,000 annually, and include poetry, short stories, and personal
essays.
The newest edition includes the winning poems from HPU’s
annual James Vaughan Award for Poetry competition.
Volume 20 of the Hawai‘i Pacific Review ($8.95) will be
available at the HPU Bookstore [www.hpu.edu/bookstore] beginning
Oct. 16, and at all major bookstores including Borders Books & Music,
Waldenbooks, and Barnes & Noble and its subsidiaries, amazon.com,
and chapters.com, by Nov. 1. |
