About This Item
University of Hawaii Press,, 1979. Paperback. Near Fine. Octavo, softcover, near fine in yellow wraps. Clean and unmarked. From earliest times, the chanting of poetry served the Hawaiians as a form of ritual celebration of the things they cherished--the beauty of their islands, the abundance of wild creatures that inhabited their sea and air, the majesty of their rulers, and the prowess of their gods. Commoners as well as highborn chiefs and poet-priests shared in the creation of the chants. 233 pp. including bibliography.
