Abstract
Shipping & Handling is a collection of poetry and short stories exploring legacies: the ones we inherit, the ones we leave, and the space between. It examines our attempts to claim identities by reclaiming the space once occupied by those before us. Though primarily based in Hawaiʻi (from the 1940s to present day), regular “commuting” to and from Samoa (and its culture, sensibilities, even some language) plays a prominent role throughout this collection. The pieces mimic a movement between and within generations, traveling through remembrance, language and family to weave together those ancient bonds, dust off the residue of occupation, and reinforce a collective identity to bear the weight of a post-colonial reality. Shipping & Handling celebrates the beauty in the fantastic and the mundane that is the space we occupy.
