Description: "Insights from Oceania is an anthology of prose, poetry and artwork featuring 40 contributors from across Oceania, who offer a contemporary and bold snapshot of life in the Pacific. The writings in Kinalamten Gi Pasifiku focus on modern perspectives in colonized Pacifica. Each work is a bonding between oceanic life and personal thought. In her Foreword to the anthology, Dr. Laura Torres Souder describes the collection as "speaking the unspeakable". Souder explains that through their writing and art, the anthology's contributors "dare to expose sublimated contractions and use their critical consciousness to heal wounded hearts." Kinalamten Gi Pasifiku is the premier publication of Ta Tuge' Mo'na, a Non-Profit Organization that supports literary communities in Guam and contributes to the development of a written literary tradition that expresses local and regional perspectives." -- Publisher description.
Notes: "This publication is the final of a three-part series of anthologies produced in celebration of the 12th Festival of Pacific Arts, Guam 2016."
