Joy Harjo, the first Native American poet to serve as U.S. Poet Laureate, has championed Native American voices from the past to the present. Her signature laureate project brings together the works of contemporary poets on a national, fully digital map of history, sound, and space, celebrating their vital and unreserved contributions to American poetry. This reading anthology includes every poem and poet from the project, offering readers the opportunity to hold the rich collection of poems in their hands. Featuring works from Natalie Diaz, Ray Young Bear, Craig Santos Perez, Sherwin Bitsui, Layli Long Soldier, among others, Living Nations, Living Words presents, as Joy Harjo writes in her impactful introduction, “poetry emerges from the soul of a community, the heart and lands of people. In this country, poetry is rooted in over 500 living indigenous nations. Living Nations, Living Words is a representative offering.”
