Julia enjoys teasing out the silliness in words, creating puzzles, and nonce poems that don't necessarily mean anything substantive but which are a joy to say. .
Tiare Picard
MA English candidate
Tiare has a hard time staying in one place for very long, and when she can’t afford to fly, she drives to Kane‘ohe. She loves foreign films and has a weakness for Leonard Nimoy. She loves space—as in the outer space of green fields. Thus, she loves the Big Island, which she considers her home. Her sisters live there among the ohi‘a.
---And musical guest Bless’DChil’
