“This is deep music, and clear, as the poet carries us to those places in the heart that ground and guide us. Coral Road: Poems by Garrett Hongo is the strongest book of poems this reviewer has seen in years.” —Larry Smith, New York Journal of Books “Garrett Hongo’s long-awaited third collection of poems is a beautiful, elegiac gathering of his Japanese-American ancestors in their Hawaiian landscape and a testament to the power of poetry, as it brings their marginalized yet heroic narratives into the realm of art.” —IndieBound “All throughout Coral Road there is a capaciousness and generosity as well as ascrupulousness of vision that is extremely rare in contemporary American poetry.” —Michael Collier, On the Seawall “Lingering in every word is Hongo’s profound connection to and palpable homesicknessfor his family roots and childhood in Hawaii.” —Christine Thomas, Honolulu Star-Advertiser “[Coral Road] is an intergenerational, multilayered, place-based search for home . . . Hongo sings from the graves of his people.” —Derek Sheffield, Orion “There is rage and beauty alike in Garrett Hongo’s long-awaited and sublimely romanticbook of poems, Coral Road. Hongo dramatically inhabits the Hawaiian pastand honors his ancestors, both familial and literary, in a rich, triumphant, and indeliblework of imagination.” —Edward Hirsch
