http://www.randomhouse.com/knopf/authors/hongo/

Extractions: Garrett Hongo attended Pomona College, the University of Michigan, and the University of California at Irvine, where he received a Master of Fine Arts degree in English. He is a professor at the University of Oregon, where he was Director of the Program in Creative Writing from 1989 to 1993. He is the author of two books of poetry, Yellow Light and The River of Heaven. He lives in Eugene, Oregon, with his wife and their two sons. Garrett Hongo's first book since Yellow Light has been awarded the 1987 Lamont Poetry Prize of the Academy of American Poets for a distinguished book of poems (judges: Philip Booth, Alfred Corn, Mary Oliver). In The River of Heaven , Garrett Hongo has drawn from his unusual background (born in Volcano, Hawaii, of Japanese ancestry, and educated in California at Pomona) to provide the materials for poems that would be highly exotic were they not infused with a level-headed sense of realism and a strong feeling that mundane realities are perfectly natural material for the poetry of our time. Here, Garrett Hongo transforms his mundane realities into elegant poetry. The volcanoes of Hawaii ("Eruption: Pu'u O'o"), the gritty urban streets of Los Angeles ("Four Chinatown Figures"), a California beach after the death of his father ("The Pier")the places of Garrett Hongo's past metamorphosize into a poetry that is compelling and immediate.

http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/g_l/hongo/interviews.htm

Extractions: Excerpts from Garrtett Hongo Interviews From an Interview with Bill Moyers MOYERS: Why did you decide to write poetry? HONGO: I wanted to explore the life of emotions. As a child in Hawai'i I remember not only having emotions, but they seemed authorized by the world and the family surrounding me. As an adolescent growing up in Los Angeles and the public schools there, emotions seemed to be under a tight reign even in sports. People seemed to want to deny them. I didn't understand that as a Japanese American I was experiencing a social and historical sadness. Because my own family did not suffer relocation, they were trying to live it down and grow out of their own grief. So I had all these feelings which had no form of expression. My brother became a blues guitarist, and at first I was just angry, then I became a poet. Poetry and photography seemed to give me ways to explore and connect with the history that was repressed. MOYERS: Repressed in what sense? HONGO: There wasn't anything in my high school textbooks about Japanese in America. I knew that we weren't there when Lee surrendered to Grant. I knew we weren't there when Washington crossed the Delaware. MOYERS: Or at the Alamo, on either side.

Extractions: Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us Garrett Hongo was born in the back room of a general store built by his grandfather in Volcano, Hawaii. His family left Volcano when he was less than a year old and Hongo grew up in South-Central Los Angeles. He attended what he described as ``fancy schools'': Pomona College, University of Michigan and UC Irvine. The Japanese-American poet has published two collections of poetry, ``Yellow Light'' and ``The River of Heaven,'' which was nominated for the 1988 Pulitzer Prize. He now lives in Eugene, Ore., and teaches English at the University of Oregon. Until last year, he was the director of the creative writing program there. His task, he told a group of students and faculty at UC Davis last week, has been to make sense of the bare facts of his biography. ``The only way to cope was to write of my highly marginalized facts and events and create a land out of language,'' he said. The result is Hongo's memoir, ``Volcano,'' which is being published by Knopf this spring. It will be in local bookstores in a few weeks.
