Language Matters

Tony Quagliano's contributions to Hawai'i and to the world of poetry were many and wide ranging. His was a singular voice in poetry. He reveled in the possibilities of language, the sounds of words, and the potential for philosophical complexities. He was feisty, humorous, joyfully exuberant and had an inviolable sense of justice. This collection of his work exemplifies that existence and shows us all that Language Matters.
