Kapiolani: With Other Poems is a collection of poems written by Robert Grant and published in 1848. The title poem, Kapiolani, is an epic poem that tells the story of a Hawaiian queen who defies her people’s traditional beliefs and stands up to the goddess Pele in order to demonstrate her faith in Christianity. The other poems in the collection cover a range of topics, including nature, love, and morality. Grant’s writing is characterized by its use of vivid imagery and emotional depth. The collection was well-received upon its publication and is considered a significant work of American poetry from the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
