Program Description
Event Details
For Native American Heritage Month, we will discuss Poet Warrior by Joy Harjo. In the second memoir from the first Native American to serve as US poet laureate, Joy Harjo invites us to travel along the heartaches, losses, and humble realizations of her “poet-warrior” road. Weaving together the voices that shaped her, Harjo listens to stories of ancestors and family, the poetry and music that she first encountered as a child, the teachings of a changing earth, and the poets who paved her way.
Joy Harjo is an internationally renowned poet, performer, and writer of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and served three terms as the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States.
Books will be available for pickup at McMahon Wintonbury Library. You can also read the book on Libby or the Palace Project app.
