Summary:
"A nationally best-selling volume of wise, powerful poetry from the first Native American poet laureate of the United States."--Back cover.
"In this stunning collection, Joy Harjo finds blessings in the abundance of her homeland and confronts the site where the Mvskoke people, including her own ancestors, were forcibly displaced. From her memory of her mother's death, to her beginnings in the Native rights movement, to the fresh road with her beloved, Harjo's personal life intertwines with tribal histories to create a space for renewed beginnings."--Back cover.
