Aloha Mele by Katherine Hastings

Aloha Mele by Katherine Hastings

‘In this remarkable new book Katherine Hastings, as the title suggests, says hello to song: song of “A ceiling of stars”, “slow lava flow”, and a sensual iridescence that beautifully expresses Hawaiian love. Hastings does much more: the reader who begins to read these radiant words may start out “in the quenched hive of solitude” but soon finds her or himself “Afloat in naked beauty”, “Turned tenderly/toward/together”! Hastings is a poet of such skill and grace that the earth itself (in the spectacular form of Hawaii) achieves a lyric, singing voice in her work’. (Lee Slonimsky)
