In The River of Heaven , Garrett Hongo has drawn from his unusual background (born in Volcano, Hawaii, of Japanese ancestry, and educated in California at Pomona) to provide the materials for poems that would be highly exotic were they not infused with a level-headed sense of realism and a strong feeling that mundane realities are perfectly natural material for the poetry of our time. Here, Garrett Hongo transforms his mundane realities into elegant poetry. The volcanoes of Hawaii ("Eruption: Pu'u O'o"), the gritty urban streets of Los Angeles ("Four Chinatown Figures"), a California beach after the death of his father ("The Pier")the places of Garrett Hongo's past metamorphosize into a poetry that is compelling and immediate.

skip navigation You are here: Home Nikkei Resources Topics Garrett Hongo From DiscoverNikkei.org edit Garrett Hongo edit Poet (b.1951) Born in 1951 in Hawaii and raised in Los Angeles, Garrett Hongo writes poetry and prose described as "expansive, for they touch upon the personal, social, historical, and philosophical" (from Suzanne K. Arakawa in Modern American Poetry ). Hongo attended Pomona College, the University of Michigan, and the University of California at Irvine, eventually earning his Master of Fine Arts degree in English. He has earned many credits, including professor, director of a creative writing program, and founder and artistic director of the Asian Exclusion Act theater group in Seattle. Yellow Light was Hongo’s first book of poetry where he writes of the Japanese Issei, drawing from both his own family’s experiences and America’s history. His second book of poetry, The River of Heaven , won the Lamont Poetry Prize and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. In 1995, he released his book, Volcano: A Memoir of Hawai’i , a memoir about his journey to Volcano, a small town in Hawaii where he was born, to find answers about himself by returning to his past. Garrett Hongo currently resides in Eugene, Oregon, with his wife and their two sons.

Z Search All Criticism: Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page Garrett Hongo 1951– (Full name Garrett Kaoru Hongo) American poet, editor, memoirist, and dramatist. INTRODUCTION An award-winning poet, Hongo is an important voice in post-World War II Asian American literature. Ethnic considerations are constant elements in his work, as he explores the experiences of Asian Americans in Anglo society and seeks to come to terms with his own identity in American culture. Delving into history and memory to express the bitterness of prejudice, Hongo frequently employs character studies and anecdotal first-person nar ratives to express his thoughts. Of his creative impulse he has stated: "My project as a poet has been motivated by a search for origins of various kinds, quests for ethnic and familial roots, cultural identity, and poetic inspiration, all ultimately somehow connected with my need for an active imaginative and spiritual life." Biographical Information Born in the village of Volcano, Hawaii, Hongo was raised on the North Shore of the island Oahu and later in Southern California, where his family moved when he was six. He attended a racially mixed high school in a workingclass Los Angeles neighborhood, where he was exposed to the urban street life and cultural alienation that color his work. Hongo subsequently studied at Pomona College and graduated with honors in 1973. A fellowship enabled him to spend the following year in Japan writing. Upon returning from abroad, he enrolled in Japanese language and literature classes in a graduate program at the University of Michigan. While there, he won the university's Hopwood Poetry Prize. Prior to completing graduate studies, Hongo moved to Seattle, where he worked as poet-in-residence for the Seattle Arts Commission and founded a locally based theater group. His play

Garrett Kaoru Hongo (b. 1951) Contributing Editor: Amy Ling Classroom Issues and Strategies Explain that Hongo's themes and craft are evident even in the small selection we have in this text. The title poem of his first book, Yellow Light , emphasizes the centrality of the Asian perspective by ascribing a positive, fertile quality to the color commonly designating Asian skin and formerly meaning "cowardly." By focusing his sights on ordinary people in the midst of their daily rounds, as in "Yellow Light," "Off from Swing Shift," and "And Your Soul Shall Dance," by describing their surroundings in precise detail, by suggesting their dreams, Hongo depicts both the specificities of the Japanese-American experience and its universality. "And Your Soul Shall Dance" is a tribute to playwright and fiction writer Wakako Yamauchi. The long poem "Stepchild" reviews bitter Asian American history, more than a century of exclusion, incarceration, and dislocation. But though a "stepchild" of white America, Hongo is also the husband of a white wife and must wrestle with conflicting emotions. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues

Hongo makes switch from poetry to prose for `Volcano' April 16, 1995 Elisabeth Sherwin gizmo@ dcn.davis.ca.us Garrett Hongo was born in the back room of a general store built by his grandfather in Volcano, Hawaii. His family left Volcano when he was less than a year old and Hongo grew up in South-Central Los Angeles. He attended what he described as ``fancy schools'': Pomona College, University of Michigan and UC Irvine. The Japanese-American poet has published two collections of poetry, ``Yellow Light'' and ``The River of Heaven,'' which was nominated for the 1988 Pulitzer Prize. He now lives in Eugene, Ore., and teaches English at the University of Oregon. Until last year, he was the director of the creative writing program there. His task, he told a group of students and faculty at UC Davis last week, has been to make sense of the bare facts of his biography. ``The only way to cope was to write of my highly marginalized facts and events and create a land out of language,'' he said. The result is Hongo's memoir, ``Volcano,'' which is being published by Knopf this spring. It will be in local bookstores in a few weeks.
