Poet Charity Yoro's collection, "ten-cent flower & other territories," explores themes of identity, belonging, and responsibility. The book, which took three years to complete, draws on Yoro's diverse life experiences, including her upbringing on Oʻahu.
Her journey included studying in Thailand, teaching in South Korea, and serving in the Peace Corps in Madagascar. These experiences, along with her time growing up in Hawaiʻi, shaped her perspective on being both a guest and a resident in places affected by colonialism.
Yoro, who now lives in Colorado, will discuss her poetry collection at the Seaside Public Library on Saturday, June 13. The event will feature a reading, discussion, and a Q&A session with attendees.
