Tony Quagliano's contributions to Hawai‘i and to the world of poetry were many and wide-ranging. His was a singular voice in poetry. He reveled in the possibilities of language, the sounds of words, and the potential for philosophical complexities. He was feisty, humorous, joyfully exuberant, and had an inviolable sense of justice — and all of that in engaging poetry.
The biennial Tony Quagliano International Poetry Award is presented in his honor.
