Hula Moons

By: Don Blanding

"Hula Moons" is a vivid and evocative celebration of Hawaii, capturing the spirit and allure of the islands during the early 20th century. Written by the celebrated poet and artist Don Blanding, the work blends rhythmic verse with descriptive prose to paint a lush picture of tropical landscapes, moonlit beaches, and the enduring grace of the hula. Blanding, often referred to as the "Poet Laureate of Hawaii," shares his deep affection for the archipelago, exploring its unique culture, flora, and the romantic atmosphere that defined the "Paradise of the Pacific" for a generation of readers.

Through his keen eye and lyrical voice, Blanding transports readers to a world of swaying palms and surf-washed shores. The collection serves as both a personal travelogue and an artistic tribute, documenting the sensory experiences and folkloric charm of Hawaiian life. From the bustling streets of Honolulu to the serene beauty of the outer islands, "Hula Moons" remains a classic of Pacific literature, offering a nostalgic and enchanting glimpse into the soul of Hawaii that continues to resonate with those who feel the pull of the islands.
