In this transcendent memoir, grounded in tribal myth and ancestry, music and poetry, Joy Harjo, one of our leading Native American voices, details her journey to becoming a poet. Born in Oklahoma, Harjo grew up learning to dodge an abusive stepfather by finding shelter in her imagination, a deep spiritual life, and connection with the natural world. She attended an Indian arts boarding school, where she nourished an appreciation for painting, music, and poetry; gave birth while still a teenager; and struggled on her own as a single mother, eventually finding her poetic voice.

A great listening from the authors voice
Revisado: 01-25-23
If the history of the contact between European and Native American culture does nothing to stir something in your soul, perhaps a personal narrative of a life as a creative and crazy brave Native woman will wake your spirit into a place of compassion and humility. I hope so. This was my listen during a flight from Tampa to Albuquerque. It’s a reading meditation and a prayer in the voice of the author, akin to Ta-Nehisi Coates’ ‘ Between The World and Me.‘ The story is the kind of writing that begins to unravel the colonialist American deceit of white supremacy and cultural homogeneity. I hope the ancestors are listening.
