Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Aloha is Endangered (Bamboo Ridge Issue #130) by Koloa, Kaua'i born and bred poet Tamara Wong-Morrison is the culmination of a writing life that began more than fifty years ago. Wong-Morrison's early poems express a youthful activist's alarm and anger at bearing witness to the changes in her beloved community as the economic priorities of the islands shifted from the sunsetting sugar plantations to the booming tourism industry. Tempered with wisdom and maturity, her later poems continue to document and celebrate a way of life that is fragile and endangered and yet at the same time, guided by the sensibility of a true teacher's years of experience. These poems affirm that what can be identified can also be saved.Deeply tied to Kaua'i, Aloha Is Endangered is a poetic record of activism, family memory, and a way of life under pressure. It asks what happens when land, language, community, and livelihood are treated as expendable, and what might still be protected when people refuse to forget their value. Tamara Wong-Morrison's poems confront land struggles, tourism, and development while holding close family memory, food, labor, and cultural survival. Aloha Is Endangered is a fierce, intimate record of a changing Hawai'i and what remains worth protecting.
