My name is No'u Revilla, I'm a Hawaiian poet from Hawaii and today I'm reading a poem from my debut book of poetry Ask the Brindled.
The poem is called "The Ea of Enough." I wanted to write a poem that would uplift other Hawaiian women. I wanted to write a poem that said I see you, I believe you and this is the poem that emerged, and it's based on a concept in Hawaiian culture, Ea which can denote sovereignty, breath, and rising all at the same time.
Mahalo for listening.
