The editorial board of Hawaiʻi Review and the UHM Creative Writing Program is excited to announce that our annual creative writing conference, Words@Mānoa, will be held on Saturday, April 9, 2022, from 10am to 3:30pm HST via Zoom. This year's conference is FREE to all interested.
This year’s theme, “Hōʻike na ka Pō” (“revelations of the night”), was inspired by a particular ʻōlelo noʻeau that reminds us that dreams are revelations of Pō—of darkness and night, of obscurity and chaos, of the creative realm of the gods, and of our mysteries of the unconscious. They offer us pathways to our origins and echo back the voices of loved and legendary ancestors. Dreams can carry fruitful guidance as much as they can remind us of what is unsettled. They can also vocalize unspoken wishes and worries, revealing to us our innermost desires and fears. Dreams can be as clear and straightforward as the day or as puzzling as the night, woven in myriad strands of universal, cultural, and individual symbolism.
Please join us in dreaming, envisioning, and exploring these liminal spaces. Please also help us to share this invitation with your students, friends, and communities.
