Far from where the
tourists go and passing for local, Frances Kai-Hwa Wang and her children go to
Hawai‘i every summer to visit
grandparents and explore the Big Island’s natural wonders, many cultures, and
interesting characters. Where the
Lava Meets the Sea—Asian Pacific American Postcards from Hawai‘i is a collection of essays, prose poems,
and short short stories through which they
search for home in Hawai‘i, and
they discover an Asian Pacific American sense of belonging, one that does not
simply allow them to belong, but one that presumes they belong.
The binding is hand-sewn...all by myself...in the dark...during a blackout...in the middle of a snowstorm...while watching the Lord of Rings trilogy for the first time...and while listing to MLK Day lectures...
Available soon at Blacklava.net.
