Our Sea of Islands now spans farther than just the Pacific. Where have the currents taken us now?
Inspired by Tongan scholar Epeli Hau'ofa's essay "Our Sea of Islands", Hawaii Review's 97th issue will highlight the experiences of the 21st-century Pacific Islander. Whether in diaspora or in the homeland, we aim for our next issue to showcase the trials, tribulations, and celebrations of preserving Pasefika culture in the modern world. Feel free to submit any & all creative writing/artwork with themes such as cultural connectivity and/or disconnect, growing up in diaspora, migrating away, homecoming & maintaining tradition despite modern change.
