FEATURED ISSUE

No Choice but to Follow
ISBN: 9780910043823
Bamboo Ridge Issue #96 is a special collection of 48 renshi (linked) poems by Jean Yamasaki Toyama, Juliet S. Kono, Ann Inoshita, and Christy Passion. Originally published as weekly website postings to commemorate Bamboo Ridge’s 30th anniversary, the poets’ year-long journey resulted in NO CHOICE BUT TO FOLLOW, a combination book and CD. Publication of this book was supported in part by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Hawai‘i State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA), celebrating more than forty years of culture and the arts in Hawai‘i. The SFCA is funded by appropriations from the Hawai‘i State Legislature and by grants from the NEA. Funding was also provided by the University of Hawai‘i Office of Student Equity, Excellence and Diversity (SEED) and the Hawai‘i Council for the Humanities, with addition support from the "We the People" initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
