Book excerpt: Garrett Hongo’s long-awaited third collection of poems is a beautiful, elegiac gathering of his Japanese-American ancestors in their Hawaiian landscape and a testament to the power of poetry, as it brings their marginalized yet heroic narratives into the realm of art. In Coral Road Hongo explores the history of the impermanent homeland his ancestors found on the island of O‘ahu after their immigration from southern Japan, and meditates on the dramatic tales of the islands. In sumptuous narrative poems he takes up strands of family stories and what he calls “a long legacy of silence” about their experience as contract laborers along the North Shore of the island. In the opening sequence, he brings to life the story of his great-grandparents fleeing from one plantation to another, finding their way by moonlight along coral roads and railroad tracks. As his grandmother, a girl of ten with an infant on her back, traverses “twelve-score stands of cane / chittering like small birds, nocturnal harpies in the feral constancies of wind,” Hongo asks, “Where is the Virgil who might lead me through the shallow underworld of this history?” In fact, it is Hongo who guides himself—and us—as, in these devoted acts of recollection, he seeks to dispel the dislocation at the center of his legacy. The love of art—making beauty in however provisional a culture—has clearly been a guiding principle in Hongo’s poetry. In this content-rich verse, Hongo hearkens to and delivers “the luminous and the anecdotal,” bringing forth a complete aesthetic experience from the shards that make up a life.

This book was released on 2021-06-14 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on diverse perspectives, this collection of 12 essays and around 150 colour illustrations explores the history and mysteries of the “Coral Road” from the Mediterranean to Japan. From Italy, with its ancient traditions of deep-sea coral fishery, production and trade, the reader is transported to Tibet and India, where coral has long been revered as a Buddhist treasure and amulet. The focus then moves to Japan, with the book highlighting the vivid red coral “tree” of folklore and festivals and the lavish use of the exotic gemstone in the magnificent accessories and craftwork of the Edo Period (1603–1868), before tracing the history of Japanese coral fishery, trade and production in modern times. Inspired by an urgently perceived need to preserve the legacy of precious coral for future generations, this retrospective, yet forward-looking, book will appeal to a wide readership, from marine ecologists to economic, social, cultural and religious historians, as well as scholars of fashion and design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nestled in a small town in the mountains. Six neighborhood kids known as "The Coral Way Gang", set out on a journey that no one intended to take, but God had other plans. Due to a challenge between two of the kids, they discover a secret within a mysterious forbidden cave that will forever change their lives. The Gang travels to a strange land where they meet "The Guide" who explains what they must do in order to return back home. They must find the "Shadow of the Lamb." With only an ancient parchment that contains instructions and a scarlet stone, they begin their journey. Throughout this first adventure, Annie struggles with not being able to trust others. She discovers that she has been given a unique gift, but no one believes her. Will Annie learn to trust in God even when others let her down? Kim Kuykendoll was born in Dayton, Ohio. She grew up in Mason, Ohio with her parents and two older brothers, where creativity was encouraged and in abundance. After meeting her husband Ralph, they were blessed with three daughters. As a stay at home mom, she became very active in her church as an administrator for the children's ministry. Working first hand with young children, she was able to tap into their creative side and brought out an imagination that was both fascinating and knowledgeable. This was when she conceived the idea for a children's adventure book series known as "The Adventures of the Coral Way Gang." She works full time now as well as continuing to write the further adventures of the Coral Way Gang. She and her husband reside in Ohio with their grown daughters and are also the proud grandparents of five grandchildren.

The author covers the hot spots and lesser known fisheries with personal experiences, historical overviews, effective techniques for both warmwater and coldwater species and resident and anadromous species, stocking data, appropriate gear and flies, access points, nearby fly shops, approximate float times and much more. Photographer Hunter Brumels provides the visuals that paint the full picture of the fishing in this incredible state. With bonus coverage of nearby watering holes, anglers will have everything they need for many memorable days. From mainstays like the Au Sable, Pere Marquette, Muskegon and Manistee rivers to hidden gems like the Rabbit and Red Cedar rivers, Osborn has put in the river-time so that you can get down to business.

This book comes standard with Wilderness Adventures Press' precise and detailed full-color maps, with GPS coordinates for all access points, boat ramps, and parking areas, along with access roads, public land and more.
