Mistake House Kristiana Kahakauwila Interview


One of the pleasures of literature is discovering new writers that dazzle and inspire. Writers like
Kristiana Kahakauwila, whom I encountered first in Mistake House, the literary journal of Principia College. This is Paradise, Kahakauwila's remarkable debut story collection, takes us deep into the lives of a diverse group of Hawaiians.  Here’s a wonderful interview  that the journal did with this author to remember. I'm also very pleased to have a short-story and a poem forthcoming in the next Mistake House.

Thanks Again, Jacob & JoAnne

As I contemplated applying to grad school again, I realized that the hardest part of the process might be getting letters of recommendation for my creative work. But I would like to thank two people who vouched for me.  Jacob  Silkstone, managing editor at the U.K. and Pakistan based international journal The Missing Slate , vouched for me by way of  the pieces  I'd published there. I also reached out to a professional writing contact, Judge JoAnne Kloppenberg, now  the presiding judge of the  Wisconsin Court of Appeals . I was lucky enough to have Jo Anne represent many of my decisions in the  environmental protection unit of the Department of Justice. She vouched for my quasi-judicial decisions and lawyerly writing. With their help, I was accepted into the  MFA program  in fiction at Augsburg College in Minneapolis.  Thanks to both for your support, and more on Augsburg in a later post.

Story Forthcoming in Rosebud

I am honored that my short story, "What I Call Life" will be forthcoming in Rosebud  literary magazine's 25th Anniversary issue #65. I am a subscriber now but have also purchased it many times at Barnes and Noble stores around the US. It's the fifth of my my group of linked stories to be published and especially meaningful to have it published in magazine I've long admired. Many thanks to editor Roderick Clark.
