Abstract

The Last Bus to Waipahū is a poetry collection that delves into the harsh beauty of local lived experiences in a modern-day Hawaiʻi. It revolves around the working-class, the queer, the Pasifika, and the local communities that understand the racism, violence, poverty, and various struggles endeavored in an occupied state. This collection of poetry stems from and extends traditions of Pasifika poetry (Sia Figiel & Wayne Kaumualiʻi Westlake) and theory (Albert Wendt & Epeli Hauʻofa) that link these collective struggles to long histories of colonization in Moananuiākea.
