Description & Specifications

In the early 1800s, the Mvskoke were forced to move from their original lands east of the Mississippi to Indian Territory, which is now part of Oklahoma. Two centuries later, Joy Harjo returns to her family's lands and opens a dialogue with history. In the book An American Sunrise, Harjo finds blessings in the abundance of her homeland and confronts the place where her people and other indigenous families were nearly erased. From the memory of her mother’s death, to her beginnings in the Native rights movement, to the new path with her beloved, Harjo’s personal life intertwines with tribal histories to create a space for renewed beginnings. Her poems sing of beauty and survival, illuminating a spirituality that connects her to her ancestors and beats with the quiet fury of life in the ruins of injustice. As a descendant of storytellers and "one of our finest—and most complicated—poets" (Los Angeles Review of Books), Joy Harjo continues her legacy with this latest powerful collection.
