About

Hawaiʻi Review is an arts journal with a print, website, local community, and social media presence, published by the Student Media Board at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Its first issue was released in 1973. This journal has the mission and the good fortune to serve as a key publisher for the work of Kānaka Maoli, ʻŌiwi, and Indigenous Pacific Islanders in Hawaiʻi nei and abroad. Our focus includes centering Native Hawaiian, Indigenous Pacific Islander, and local voices, including Pidgin speakers, on a worldwide stage, as well as centering the work of LGBTQIA, māhū, and Two-Spirit writers and artists in a variety of genres and media. Hawaiʻi Review has been honored to provide malumalu for such Indigenous voices as Joe Balaz, Mahealani Dudoit, ku‘ualoha ho‘omanawanui, John Dominis Holt, Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner, Haunani-Kay Trask, Craig Santos Perez, Wayne Westlake, among many other emerging and established writers of these archipelagos. We have published writers of such local, national, and international renown as Robert Bly, Robert Olen Butler, Maxine Hong Kingston, R. Zamora Linmark, W.S. Merwin, Cathy Song, Michael Ondaatje, Carl Phillips, Naomi Shihab Nye, William Stafford, and Lois-Ann Yamanaka, among others.
