B N Oakman's deceptively conversational tone and wry humor complement writing that is elegant, sometimes confronting, and which shuns obscurity in favor of clarity. He elicits feeling through style, phrasing and understatement rather than by imposing emotion. You'll be drawn into topics ranging from the socio-economic to the personal--the ekphrastic to football--the political to the historical.

Book excerpt: Tells the colorful stories behind these marvelous Hawaiian shirts: as cultural icons, evocative of the mystery and the allure of the Islands; as collectibles, valued by professional collectors and by vacationers and servicemen; and as a lifestyle -- casual, relaxed, and fun. This book evokes the world of the Golden Age of the Aloha shirt (from the `30s through the `50s), who created the industry and nurtured it from its single-sewing-machine-shop beginnings to an enterprise of international scope. Here are the fun-loving `60s; interviews with collectors who preserve these shirts as fine works of art; and insights into the roles of coconut buttons, matched pockets, woven labels, and exotic fabrics in the evolution of the Aloha shirt. 700+ full-color images. Oversize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B N Oakman finds poetry in the ordinary, the exotic, the political and the aesthetic. No head of State or classical film is safe from his exacting eye, which yields refreshing insights about subjects we thought we already understood. Oakman writes poems for those annoyed by poets. Resisting the florid and the abstract, Oakman drives directly at the point, with here and there a verse like Incan stonework, so carefully composed you barely see the joins. - Geoff Lemon, Editor, Going Down Swinging His poems are filled with surprises, sometimes making us smile, but the unexpected distilled truths he uncovers about ourselves and the world in which we live, can leave us weak and trembling, but always wanting more. - Peter Cundall, Peter Cundall Reads War Poetry He goes to the centre of things, drawing on both past and present as he creates landscapes of feeling in poems in which history, politics, people and places are refracted through a deeply felt understanding of the human condition. - Valerie Krips, Editor, Arena Magazine A collection of not just second but infinitely reconsidered thoughts on all the major themes of life and literature; a succession of brief encounters with a rich, and enriching, array of people, places, passions. - Ian Britain, former editor Meanjin Moments of frolic are shot through with wisdom, as elsewhere a purposeful ruggedness leads on to refinement. So many poems are distinguished by their final line: demonstrations of organic closure - conceptually retroactive, forceful yet elegant. - John Flaus, actor and critic
