description: When Don Blanding discovered Hawai'i back in the 1920's, Hawai'i discovered its poet laureate. For many people, Blanding's poems about Hawai'i keep alive their romantic dreams of a paradise in the Pacific. Born in Oklahoma, Blanding lived from 1894 to 1957. His great love for Hawai'i and its people is reflected in his poetry. This was his first book, originally rejected by three local publishers and self-published in 1923. The first printing sold out quickly, and went on to become a classic addition to the literature of Hawai'i. Petroglyph Press is proud to offer a reprint of this long out-of-print book. Blanding went on to author numerous books and later toured the country reading his poetry and sharing his experiences in Hawai'i.
