William Whitaker Briggs, 71, a sailor-poet in our midst, whose rhymes of Lahaina, sailing ships and even Barack Obama have just been published as “Rock the Boat Gently,” is profiled in this weekʻs column,  Voices of Maui Beyond the Beach in Lahaina News: http://lahainanews.com/page/content.detail/id/507778/Sailing-poet-Briggs-writes-of-land-and-sea.html?nav=11 in Lahaina News. See the rhyms of this Lahaina poet on the aina and a disaster with his boat and learn how he wound up here after life as a consultant, and oil tanker and container ship sailor. His 72-page intriguing, sometimes whimsical volume is sold exclusively at the Friends of the Library Bookstore at The Wharf Cinema Center. This former economist has a lot to say about the current plight of the country. Stay tuned.
