Koʻolau Haiku
Leleʻiohoku
Softcover, 97 pp.
Koʻolau Haiku is a four-part collection of poetry in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian) and English, inspired by the style of Japanese haiku (俳句) and Native Hawaiian proverbs (ʻōlelo noʻeau), that invites readers to meditate on love, loss, healing, and hope.
An ʻōiwi (Native Hawaiian) poet and Hawaiʻi local, Leleʻiohoku uplifts his Hawaiian, Japanese, and mixed ancestry to inspire others to share their unique voices and experiences through poetry.
