"""In the Hawaiian language, Piko can be translated as ""the very center."" As a society, we understand that before we can make sense of the results of our culture, we must remember the very design of it, or its piko. Jennifer Lighty, with her provocative ""Piko: A Return to the Dreaming,"" coaxes its readers back into this center and, with masterful literation, weaves the patterns that bleed from this center to result in what we know as the human condition. Although the core concept is poetic, Lighty expresses this work in such a relatable way that anyone can position themselves as the lead character(s) whom, through the beauty of words, symbols, art, and consequence, truly affirm the core design which all results from."" -Ke'oni Hanalei, founder Pōhala Hawaiian Botanicals ""Jennifer Lighty is the real thing and has done us a great service with Piko. A modern woman working intuitively to contact mythic ground. Her language is fresh and imaginative, her intention five fathoms deep. I'm so glad she exists, and that she has turned some of her life's work into a gift that we can cradle in our hands and feel the benefit."" -Martin Shaw, author of Bardskull"
