Garrett Kaoru Hongo (b. 1951) Contributing Editor: Amy Ling Classroom Issues and Strategies Explain that Hongo's themes and craft are evident even in the small selection we have in this text. The title poem of his first book, Yellow Light , emphasizes the centrality of the Asian perspective by ascribing a positive, fertile quality to the color commonly designating Asian skin and formerly meaning "cowardly." By focusing his sights on ordinary people in the midst of their daily rounds, as in "Yellow Light," "Off from Swing Shift," and "And Your Soul Shall Dance," by describing their surroundings in precise detail, by suggesting their dreams, Hongo depicts both the specificities of the Japanese-American experience and its universality. "And Your Soul Shall Dance" is a tribute to playwright and fiction writer Wakako Yamauchi. The long poem "Stepchild" reviews bitter Asian American history, more than a century of exclusion, incarceration, and dislocation. But though a "stepchild" of white America, Hongo is also the husband of a white wife and must wrestle with conflicting emotions. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues

Stars paling, tucked high in the sky's blue jade, we saw, through the back windows and tops of ohia trees, silhouettes and red showers as if from Blake's fires, magenta and billows of black volleying. Then, a burbling underground, like rice steaming in the pot, shook through chandeliers of fern and the A-frame's tambourine floor, stirring the cats and chickens from the crawl-space and their furled sleep. The fountain rose 900 feet that night, without us near it, smoking white, spitting from the cone 6 miles away, a geyser of flame, pyramids and gyres of ash. Novices, we dressed and drove out, first to the crater rim, Uwekahuna

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Garrett Kaoru Hongo (b. Garrett Kaoru Hongo is a prolific and accomplished Asian American poet. His poetry is characterized by striking images and unexpected, luminous lines. He has a special talent for close observation, an eye for the telling detail, and an ability to make the mundane beautiful, as in the vivid food images of “Who Among You Knows the Essence of Garlic?” In dramatic monologues, such as “The Unreal Dwelling: My Years in Volcano,” he gives voice to figures from his familial past or from a communal past. Of his writing, Hongo has written, “My project as a poet has been motivated by a search for origins of various kinds—quests for ethnic and familial roots, cultural identities, and poetic inspiration....I find the landscapes, folkways, and societies of Japan, Hawaii, and even Southern California to continually charm and compel me to write about them and inform myself of their specificities.” Born in Volcano, Hawaii, Hongo moved as a child to Laie, to Kahuku, and then to California—the San Fernando Valley—where he and his brother were the only Japanese in the public school. His family finally settled in Gardena, a Japanese American community in South Los Angeles adjoining the black community of Watts and the white community of Torrance. Hongo graduated from Pomona College, then traveled in Japan on a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship. He returned for graduate work at the University of Michigan, where he won the Hopwood poetry prize and studied with poet-professors Bert Meyers, Donald Hall, and Philip Levine. Later, he earned an M.F.A. from the University of California at Irvine. He taught at various universities, including the University of Missouri, where he was poetry editor of the

from Garrett Hongo . . . One of my favorite books is Volcano: A Memoir of Hawai'i , by Garrett Hongo. The language he uses is beautiful, and I admire him greatly. There was an outdoor shower Cynthia and I loved to use . . . Though the nights were misty and chilly, it wasn't a problem to shower under the stars either. Our bodies steamed, pale suns with white prominences furling off our skin and into the black milk dark of the forest. One of us would be showering, and the other would walk out of the house and then down along the planked walkway around the sauna. We used the flashlights, orbs of yellow light probing the way. When it threw the bather into the relief of the other's sight, it was a marvel that made us laugh and could reconcile any difference of the day. Otoko ," Wakako said. "Men who needed." Once, she sang me a song about the soul's need for beauty, a dance of the heart, a dream in the darkest hour of night . . . Kurai yami no yume, Setsu nasa yo . . . Hitori sake nomya, Kokoro ga odoru.
