"43 sonnet" by Caki Wilkinson and/or "Because Nāmakaokahaʻi killed her sister at Kaiwiopele" by No'u Revilla for the poetry asks?
hi!!! thank you so much for introducing these to me, they’re really great
for “43 sonnet” first of all i loved reading abt how it was written anagramically, that was really interesting. and my favourite part of it is
“22. tentatively we 23. somehow 24. the loud echo 25. the détente 26. touchily 27. a wholesome vow 28. the old way 29. cue the wolves 30. the emotion”
it’s the buildup and then the release of it that i really like.
and I LOVE “because Nāmakaokahaʻi killed her sister at Kaiwiopele.” reading abt the context of it was really fascinating and it hit me quite deeply. absolutely stunning. i’m picking the last two stanzas because wow… couldn’t choose
“I imagine grandma explaining
how to brace against my own sister’s
bones. I’d rather starve.
Who will believe in this red, moaning cinder
if I never learn how to hold you?
If I am written as water and you as blood,
who surrenders in the poem first?
Can we kill the poem? Kill it forever.”

Inside the dress, there is a creature, she                                                               careful
is a cliff in a girl’s body. And the cliff was a lizard once still             turned to rock she gazed too much like she
                                                 careful
            had a kingdom inside.

How did the advent of US colonization change things?
How does the Second Hawaiian Renaissance’s legacy of nationalism and cultural revival distinguish its goals from the continental United States’ social movements in the ‘70s? 
Revilla, No'u. 2017. “Ua mohala: notes on remembering our queen.” WordPress. 
Revilla’s blog post reflects on the lasting impact of colonialism and Queen Lili’uokalani’s illegal overthrow and discusses Hawai’ians’ continued activism towards reclaiming their culture. We learned about the overthrow in Week 2, and placing our prior knowledge within the context of this unit’s focus on Hawai’i’s gender and nationalist activism will help our class advance our previous discussions.

Ma and Me by Putsata Reang
Not all of these have audiobooks, but it looks like several of them do. Hope this helps!
Usually I am the one giving book recs, but I wanted to take a second to open myself to receiving some! Ideally queer, nonfiction, and existing on audiobook (and not audible exclusive). I would love to learn more about non American queer history but I am open to any queer nonfiction!

When young, we reach for everything that wants us, for many things that don’t. In No’u Revilla’s mesmeric “Rope / Tongue”, sexually audacious girlhood is layered between the origin story of a grandmother, ancestress who “jumped into the ocean with her legs spread, landed, and the / water turned to…
