Description:EP 34.In New Oceania Poetry Interviews, Craig Santos Perez converses with three contemporary poets to explore the “avant-garde edge” of Pacific poetry.Excerpt:Literary historians trace the origins of contemporary Pacific poetry to the 1960s and 1970s, when many Pacific islands were transformed by movements for demilitarization, cultural revitalization and political sovereignty. Pacific literature was a vital component of these movements because our stories offered a space to expose the injustices of colonialism, to celebrate the resilience of our peoples, and to advocate for a decolonized future.During the last 50 years, there has been an eruption of anthologies, chapbooks and single-author collections of Pacific poetry published throughout the Pacific and the United States. These works have circulated in classrooms, bookstores and online; additionally, Pacific poets have themselves circulated their works via live performances in local and international venues.The major themes of Pacific poetry include culture, identity, kinship, colonialism, tourism, religion, sexuality, gender, migration, militarism, urbanism, nature, environmental justice, politics, language, mixed-race heritage and more. Cutting across these themes are a range of diverse poetic styles, from free verse to sonnets, from the confessional to the documentary, from the postmodern to the lyric.—from Craig Santos Perez’s introductionWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
