April is National Poetry Month!
Each April the literary art form of poetry is celebrated during month-long festivities honoring this distinct literary style. National Poetry Month was first celebrated by the Academy of American Poets in April of 1966 and today, National Poetry Month is known as the largest literary celebration in the world. Below are poetry selections from the Sullivan Family Library followed by ways that you can participate in National Poetry Month during social distancing.

Hidden Gem: Health Professionals Advising Collection
At the Sullivan Family Library, there are hidden gems of collections housed within the larger number of books and resources we offer. One such collection is our Health Professionals Advising Collection which lives behind the Reference Desk and is available to students, faculty, and staff for both in-library use and 7-day checkout.
The collection was a donation by Patty Lee Robinson who originally housed the books in her office on-campus but felt that they would do more good in the library to assist students in their professional endeavors and be a resource to those entering or in the health fields.
You can view the collection by visiting our Circulation Desk and inquiring about the books. Topics range from the health sciences (nursing, medicine, dental schools, etc.) to assisting when applying to programs or preparing for interviews and even topics in Native Hawaiian healing.
Below is a selection of the books from this phenomenal collection.

Celebrating Kūhiō Day
Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, born March 26, 1871, is remembered by many as a champion for the Hawaiian people and is affectionately known as Ke Aliʻi Makaainana which translates to the "Prince of the People".
Born in Kukuiʻula in the town of Kōloa on the southern coast of Kauaʻi, the young boy was a prince of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi from his high birth. Because of this, Prince Kūhiō was educated with other royal children at the Royal School and later Oʻahu College on the island of Oʻahu. At a young age, he lost both his parents and was adopted by Queen Kapiʻolani, the wife of King David Kalākaua.
Following the death of King Kalākaua, the King's sister, the Princess Liliʻuokalani, assumed the throne but always favored Kūhiō. After the overthrow of the throne, Kūhiō was elected as a delegate to the U.S. Congress from Hawaiʻi and spearheaded the 1921 federal Hawaiian Homes Commission Act which aimed to provide a homesteading program for native Hawaiians by placing 200,000 acres of land into the Hawaiian Home Lands Trust.
Today, multiple buildings across the state are dedicated in his honor and each March 26th, the State of Hawaiʻi honors this celebrator of traditional Hawaiian arts and culture. Below are resources from the Sullivan Family Library discussing his legacy and the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi.
Kauanui, J. K. (2008). Hawaiian blood: colonialism and the politics of sovereignty and indigeneity. Durham, NC: Duke University Press.
"Hawaiian Blood is the first comprehensive history and analysis of this federal law that equates Hawaiian cultural identity with a quantifiable amount of blood. J. Kēhaulani Kauanui explains how blood quantum classification emerged as a way to undermine Native Hawaiian sovereignty... Kauanui provides impassioned assessment of how the arbitrary correlation of ancestry and race imposed by the U.S. government on the indigenous people of Hawaiʻi has had far-reaching legal and cultural effects." - from publisher
Silva, N. K. (2004). Aloha betrayed: native Hawaiian resistance to American colonialism. Durham, NC: Duke University Press.
"Drawing on Hawaiian-language texts, primarily newspapers produced in the nineteenth century and early twentieth, Silva demonstrates that print media was central to social communication, political organizing, and the perpetuation of Hawaiian language and culture. A powerful critique of colonial historiography, Aloha Betrayed provides a much-needed history of native Hawaiian resistance to American imperialism." - from publisher
Van Dyke, J. M. (2008). Who owns the Crown lands of Hawaii? Honolulu, HI: University of Hawaiʻi Press.
"In this engrossing work, Jon Van Dyke describes and analyzes in detail the complex cultural and legal history of Hawaiʻi's Crown lands. He argues that these lands must be examined as a separate entity and their unique status recognized... The question of who owns Hawaiʻi's Crown Lands today is of singular importance for Native Hawaiians in their quest for recognition and sovereignty..." - from publisher
