My husband and I have already bought the documentary and it was delivered while I was at my nephew’s wedding in Hawaii. He married a Hawaiian woman. For part of their wedding gift I sent them The Folding Cliffs which I re-read before my trip to Hawaii, my first visit there. I plan to return next year and would love to visit the palm forest next year if possible. The Folding Cliffs was not only extraordinary writing but a remarkable preparation for me to be visiting Hawaii snd meeting the bride’s extended family who have lived there all their lives. I was incredibly moved reading The Folding Cliffs again and seeing th for the first time. A powerful story told by Merwin with deep understanding and compassion written beautifully.
