\"Snaring<\/p>\n

Four writers tasked with going beyond science fiction and fantasy will read from their works published in a special issue of Bamboo Ridge<\/em> titled “Snaring New Suns: Speculative Works from Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and Beyond” at Windward Community College<\/a>. The 50th Anniversary Out Loud in the Library! event will be held on Thursday, April 13, 5–6:30 p.m. in Hale Aʻo<\/span>, the Hawaiian studies building.<\/p>\n

“Snaring New Suns: Speculative Works from Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and Beyond” is edited by Tom Gammarino, University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa Assistant Professor Bryan Kamaoli Kuwada<\/strong>, D. Kealiʻi<\/span> MacKenzie and Lyz Soto. This issue from Bamboo Ridge challenges writers to create speculative narratives that “imagine otherwise.” The result is a collection of pieces from 48 established and emerging authors and artists who venture into a new realm of speculative work.<\/p>\n

Thoughtfully curated and arranged to amplify each piece within a larger reading experience, the anthology experiments with form and mixes genres of the supernatural, alternate reality, climate fiction and more, including art, graphic stories, nonfiction and a stage play.<\/p>\n
