The fascination for poetry, along with classical music and liturgy, began at an early age. In this collection of verse and prose-poems, themes range from childhood recollections to contemporary issues to the whimsical. L'arrogance de la Jeunesse -The Swagger of Youth: A Collection of Verse is a reflection of personal insights and eclectic perspectives drawn from a unique cultural background and a life enriched with curious, dangerous, and always enlightening experiences.

This novella is a compilation of stories based upon historical events that occurred prior to and following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Territorial Hawaii. The situations, issues, themes, and outcomes are partly derived from the experiences of the people who lived through those times and whose lives were either directly or indirectly affected by social, military, political, and economic fortunes. The main focus examines issues of discrimination, fate, determination, community versus the individual, charity versus greed, and the sheer will of ordinary people to transform a hostile environment into a fertile land of productivity, inclusion, and opportunity. It is hoped that this work might possibly provide a fresh window of insight into developing a more constructive future.
