Poet and essayist Jonathon Medeiros will be one of the featured authors at next week’s Kauai Writers Conference, a gathering of top-selling authors, literary agents and more.
Medeiros is also an educator. HPR talked to him during a break in his day at Kauaʻi High School about his work and the conference taking place next week.
HPR asked him to read a poem he wrote that intrigued us. It was a message to our visitors. It's titled, "To the People on the Cruise Ships."
