The Salt-Wind: Ka Makani Pa'Akai by Brandy Nalani McDougall

challenging emotional inspiring reflective

4.5

There is a full range of human emotion on display here, but what always shines through is McDougall's love for her People and for her Homeland. The collection is full of Hawaiian language and spirituality. There are no translations provided, so I kept Google translate set on Hawaiian and ended up with a nice little glossary. It's not hard to do and is necessary to get beneath the surface at all. And this poetry is definitely worth the effort.
