		White Island or as maori know it Whakaari is an active volcano about 80km offshore from Whakatane and has got to be one of the most surreal and unusual places I have ever visited.

		The island’s maximum altitude of 402 metres is reached at a peak on the eastern edge of the Caldeira, a huge crater dominating the south-eastern part of the island.
		The ‘graceful’ island – which probably took its name from its charming, softly undulating landscapes, marked by a few ranges of low mountains, or rather hills, and small volcanic cones, most of them not even reaching the 100-metre mark – has a populated interior in contrast to the other islands of the archipelago.
		Yet, in the second half of the 19th century, the island’s good luck changed, as the vineyards were devastated to a large extend by the phylloxera decease and many winegrowing families were deprived of their basis of existence.

	Next Chapter For White's Island
		White's Island was a special place that was neither wholly private nor totally public.
		I urge the current owners, who began their chapter as "Stewards of White's Island," to consider another strategy, at least out of respect for Margaret Stetson, who truly loved the island and was very happy to share it with her fellow townsmen.
		With respect to all parties, I suggest that a better outcome for all would be for the owners to grant the island to the town of Wiscasset.

		For the text of the White Island, Martino turned not Dante, but to an arrangement of 5 poems by Robert Herrick, drawn from Herrick’s collection of sacred texts His Noble Numbers, each poem touching upon some facet of a vision of suffering, redemption, and immortality.
		Poem 3, the centerpiece of the texts in meaning as well as length, conveys the suffering of the human soul, and the appeals for salvation, framed by poems 2 and 4, which denote the onset of the coming of judgment, and the gradual process of redemption, respectively.
		In The White Island, Martino has conjured up a sound world comprised of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven, in which each level of this world is characterized by some measure of chromaticism and diatonicism.
