Description & Specifications

The poetry anthology curated by poet and U.S. Poet Laureate, Joy Harjo, brings together works by more than 160 poets, representing nearly 100 indigenous nationalities. This significant collection celebrates the indigenous peoples of North America, the first poets of this land, whose literary traditions span centuries. Opening with a blessing from Pulitzer Prize-winner N. Scott Momaday, the book includes powerful introductions from the contributing editors representing the five geographically organized sections. Each section begins with a poem from the great libraries of oral literature and closes with emerging poets, ranging from Eleazar, a native Harvard student of the 17th century, to Jake Skeets, a young Diné poet born in 1991, including recognizable authors such as Natalie Diaz, Tommy Pico, Layli Long Soldier, and Ray Young Bear. In the work When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through, Harjo offers the remarkable breadth of indigenous literature.
