PRAISE FOR CORAL ROAD:
• “This is deep music and clear, as the poet carries us to those places in the heart that ground and guide us. Coral Road . . . is the strongest book of poems this reviewer has read in years.” —New York Journal of Books
• “Through documentary-style description, loping and sonorous rhythms, and Whitmanic line-lengths, [Hongo’s] collections address issues of racial and ethnic injustice, displacement, loss and coming-of-age. [His] skill is clear, and equally is his commitment to voices, narratives and landscapes not often approached in American poetry, and for that he should be praised.” —Devil's Lake
PRAISE FOR VOLCANO:
• “A strikingly elegant family history, shot through with a poet’s appreciation of Hawaiian geology . . . Lyrical and aching in all the right measures, a finely crafted piece of work distilled to its essence.” —Kirkus Reviews
