Mānoa (subtitled A Pacific Journal of International Writing) is a literary journal that includes American and international fiction, poetry, artwork, interviews, and essays of current cultural or literary interest. A notable feature of each issue is original translations of contemporary work from Asian and Pacific nations, selected for each issue by a special guest editor. Mānoa, meaning 'vast and deep' in the Hawaiian language, presents both traditional and contemporary writings from the entire Pacific Rim. Mānoa is published semiannually by the University of Hawaii Press and was established in 1989.
Each issue also bears an ISBN and is marketed as a book in its own right.
Editors

The journal's first electronic edition appeared in 2000 on Project MUSE. Back issues of the journal became available in the JSTOR digital archive in November 2008.
