Bamboo Ridge Reading and Talk Story

November 17, 2:00pm - 3:30pm
West Oʻahu Campus, UHWO Library

We are lucky enough to host two of the brightest new writers to be featured in Bamboo Ridge Press: Donald Carreira Ching and Christy Passion Set in contemporary Hawai'i, BETWEEN SKY AND SEA: A FAMILY'S STRUGGLE is an episodic novel that tells the story of three brothers struggling to negotiate their identities in the wake of cultural loss, drug addiction, and family tragedy.

STILL OUT OF PLACE, poems by Christy Passion, is a powerful collection that explores a life lived in Hawai芒鈧渋, rich with cultural heritage that few others have really captured. Tough and unflinching, compassionate and beautifully crafted, this is a sharp-eyed, singular portrait of island life. It芒鈧劉s working class. It resists nostalgia. It shows that there can be a beauty in the everyday pain that blue-collar people endure.
