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.

This publication 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). 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 additional support from the “We the People” initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

This event is presented in partnership with the Hawai`i Council for the Humanities, with additional support from the "We the People" initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Please visit the "Teachers Corner" at www.bambooridge.com or www.hihumanities.org.
