description -
Donald Benson Blanding (1894-1957) was an American journalist, speaker, author, and poet who sentimentalized warm climates and was sometimes described as "poet laureate of Hawaii." His less sentimental illustrated poem, The Virgin of Waikiki, is a funny little tale of a maid who paints herself up and goes out on the beach to find a man.
