Advertiser Staff

Hawai' Pacific University has given its annual James M. Vaughan Award for poetry to Honolulu writer Christy Passion. Her three poems were selected from about 60 entries of three poems each, and will be published in HPU's literary magazine Hawai'i Pacific Review, out this summer.

Passion will receive $500 and be recognized at HPU's 10th annual Ko'olau Writing Workshops on March 3 at the Hawai'i Loa campus in Kane'ohe.

Passion started writing poetry only a few years ago, and has already had work published in Bamboo Ridge and The Hawai'i Review.
