Open-minded critique of the truth no one wants to admit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Ms. Trask's writing is a strong reflection of the struggle and pain indigenous people from all over the world suffer, endure and live through. It is a pity that because of her strong rhetoric and cutting direct assessments, some refuse to acknowledge the importance, influence and role her work has expressed and manifested. I reccommend this book as a wake-up call to those who do not fear the truth.
An important work of decolonization

Trask's work is important in the world of Native poetry. Her work is finely crafted, honed, and stunning in its passion and beauty. I am deeply honored to read her words, and they resonate deeply with her other important contributions as an educator, activist, and prose writer. Reading across Trask's work gives you a sense of the breadth and depth of her vision and her knowledge base, her theory and praxis. She is an important voice in Native Hawai'ian struggle and should be read by all folk of color concerned about our survival, that of Native peoples, and this planet. She is a living gift in our time. Thank you for the blessing(s). Aché.
Awesome

This book of poetry was such an intense cry of awareness to all Hawaiians, and somewhat of a call to arms for all indigenous peoples across the world. Do something, is pretty much waht she's trying to say. Haunani Kay is a beautiful poet, and every poem, whether you are Hawaiian or not, is surely to appreciate. I wrote an essay for English 104 on her poem "Refusal" and I got an A...by the way! :)
