Author and Windward Community College<\/a> English instructor Janine Oshiro<\/strong> has been honored with the Elliott Cades Awards for Literature, the most prestigious literary award in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>. The nonprofit Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Literary Arts Council, which is charged with hosting the awards program, named Oshiro as the winner of the award for emerging artist.<\/p>\n

She will accept her award and read a selection of poems on Saturday, May 5, 2 p.m. at the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Book and Music Festival on the Civic Grounds at Honolulu Hale. She will be introduced by poet Paul Nelson.<\/p>\n

Oshiro was born in Kahaluʻu<\/span> and raised in Mililani. She is a Kundiman fellow and the recipient of a poetry fellowship from Oregon’s Literary Arts. Her first work, Pier<\/em>, was published last year. <\/p>\n

Oshiro’s work has been praised as multidimensional poems that seek to “identify the self that straddles both spiritual and physical worlds.”<\/p>\n

The Cades Awards, given annually since 1988, were created by Charlotte and J. Russell Cades in memory of Russell’s brother, Elliott, a teacher and lover of literature. The award is given each year to honor the highest literary achievement in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
