SUMMARY:UH Press 75th Anniversary Book Talk Series
DESCRIPTION:October 19\, 2022. 4:00pm\, Hamilton Library\, Room 306 and on 
 Zoom\nRegister in advance for this 
 meeting:\nhttps://hawaii.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAqf-usqj8tHdG86ErwbVjiqnDivxMSSX-i\n\nCraig 
 Santos Perez will talk about his new edited volume Indigenous Pacific 
 Islander Eco-Literatures (UH Press – August 2022). This anthology of 
 contemporary eco-literature gathers an ensemble of a hundred emerging\, 
 mid-career\, and established Indigenous writers from Polynesia\, 
 Melanesia\, Micronesia\, and the global Pacific diaspora. The reader will 
 encounter a wild garden of genres\, including poetry\, chant\, short 
 fiction\, novel excerpts\, creative nonfiction\, visual texts\, and even a 
 dramatic play—all written in multilingual offerings of English\, Pacific 
 languages\, pidgin\, and translation. Seven main themes emerge: “Creation 
 Stories and Genealogies\,” “Ocean and Waterscapes\,” “Land and 
 Islands\,” “Flowers\, Plants\, and Trees\,” “Animals and 
 More-than-Human Species\,” “Climate Change\,” and “Environmental 
 Justice.” This aesthetic diversity embodies the beautiful bio-diversity 
 of the Pacific itself.  We are reminded that we are not alone\; we are 
 always in relation and always ecological. Humans\, other species\, and 
 nature are interrelated\; land and water are central concepts of identity 
 and genealogy\; and Earth is the sacred source of all life\, and thus 
 should be treated with love and care. With this book as a trusted 
 companion\, we are inspired and empowered to reconnect with the world as we 
 navigate towards a precarious yet hopeful future.\n\nCraig Santos Perez is 
 an indigenous Chamoru (Chamorro) from the Pacific Island of Guåhan (Guam). 
 He is a poet\, scholar\, editor\, publisher\, essayist\, critic\, book 
 reviewer\, artist\, environmentalist\, and political activist. Craig is a 
 Professor in the English Department at the University of Hawaiʻi\, 
 Mānoa\, where he teaches creative writing\, eco-poetry\, and Pacific 
 literature. He is affiliate faculty with the Center for Pacific Islands 
 Studies and the Indigenous Politics Program.
