Language Matters

Tony Quagliano's contributions to Hawai'i and to the world of poetry were
many and wide ranging. His was a singular voice in poetry. He reveled in
the possibilities of language, the sounds of words, and the potential for
philosophical complexities. He was feisty, humorous, joyfully exuberant
and had an inviolable sense of justice. This collection of his work
exemplifies that existence and shows us all that Language Matters.
