"Marooned on Molokai' is a journal account of a month spent on the ancient isle of Moloka'i, back in 2005, one of the last ad undeveloped bastions of 'old Hawaiian' culture. Although ostensibly a record of daily events while resident there, it examines and reflects upon much of traditional Hawaii's ancient cultural practices and customs.

Autorenporträt
Kalikiano Kalei, a resident of Sacramento (CA) and Moloka'i (HI), spent his formative years in the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically in the city of Berkeley, after service in the US Air Force during the Vietnam era. A student of East Asian studies and civilisation, his literary influences include the Beat poets and writers, Rimbaud, Badelaire, Gary Snyder, Richard Brautigan, Alan Watts, and a range of others who followed similar paths in life. Principally involved with aerospace medicine during his service years, he subsequently developed a civilian career in cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary medical technology that took him to the Southwest Asia, Europe and Asia (China) regions for a number of years and involved him in CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) defense technology. A lifelong writer, admittedly possessed of very modest writing talents, his books include a number of poetry works and prose on a range of subjects. Primarily at home in Sacramento (CA), he shares his home with a wife, several Siberian Husky dogs, and a monumental library of literature and documentation.
