passage 1
P1
Asian American poetry from Hawaii, the Pacific island state of the United States, is generally characterizable in one of two ways: either as portraying a model multicultural paradise, or as exemplifying familiar Asian American literary themes such as generational conflict. ███
Typical Asian-Am poetry from Hawaii ·
Portrays multicultural paradise or shows familiar theme of generational conflict
Wing Tek Lum's work ·
Unlike typical Asian-Am poetry
Doesn't romanticize multicultural life, and keeps a local sensibility.

Example ·
One poem emphasizes need for new identity in Hawaii
Ties to Chinese homeland are important, but a new Hawaiian identity is equally important.
Example ·
Another poem criticizes acclaimed Chinese poets
The point is Wing Tek Lum wasn't just stereotypically honoring poets from the past.

Example ·
One poem shows complexity of determining one's identity
Identity is based both on one's heritage and on local culture. Wing Tek Lum also cautions that U.S. culture's focus on individual drive and success should be responded to in ways that allow a healthy identify to form.
