Title: Joe Balaz is a vital Hawaiian poet, then as now.
Review: Joseph Puna Balaz is a vital and important Hawaiian poet, then (1970s) as now (1990s), so anything he writes is of interest. This book is his early poetry, and sets the stage for the later, more indigenized and mongrel works. The vitality and wit of the man always shine through, in voices crazed and caring: buy Electric Lau Lau (CD) too!
