Rain Bird is the annual literary and art journal of Windward Community College. Its purposes are:
- to celebrate and to share good writings and art created by people associated with Windward Community College;
- to inspire Windward writers and artists to further creativity
- to produce a journal of keepsake quality that th college and the contributors can be proud of
- to develop publication skills and experience in the students who produce it
The journal is produced by a student staff and printed using student fees allocated by the Board of Student Publications. Entries of writing and art are welcome from current Windward Community College students, faculty, and staff, and regular attendees of Writing Retreats.
The journal, named after the Golden Plover, or Kolea in Hawaiian, began in 1980.
Golden Plover Awards are given annually by the Windward Arts Council for excellent writing by a student and by a community (Writing Retreat) writer as published in the current issue of the Rain Bird. The Kolekolea Award is given for excellent writing that illustrates the theme of each issue.
Copies of the current issue are available from the Rain Bird Publication Room, located in Hale ‘Akoakoa, Room 236.
Donations are welcome.
