First sentence: "Lucky come Hawaii." Lucky come Hawaii, you say, Great-Grandmother.
Description: "Present Tense cannot be contained. This anthology showcases the original art and literature of women linked by their youth, women of different sexual orientations, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds. At different moments, this literature is 'multicultural,' 'post-industrial,' 'chick lit,' and 'experimental.' Always, it is striking and utterly contemporary."--BOOK JACKET.
