I’ve just put together a panel for short readings and discussion of the enduring power and importance of myth, for this year’s Hawai‘i Book and Music Festival. 
Come down Sunday May 6 at 1pm to listen to me and Don’t Look Back contributors Robert Barclay (Melal), Ku‘ualoha Ho‘omanawanui (‘Ōiwi), Marion Lyman-Mersereau (Eddie Wen Go), and Victoria Nalani Kneubuhl (Murder Leaves Its Mark), read from our retellings of Hawaiian myths and discuss the project and myth in modern times.
