Joy Harjo
Acclaimed Native American Poet
NAMMY-winning Musician
"Joy Harjo is now writing a visionary poetry that is among the very best we have." --Village Voice
"Defining the poet's role as a 'journey for truth, for justice,' [Harjo] explores the role of the artist in society, the quest for love, the links among the arts, what constitutes family, and what it means to be human." --Library Journal
"I turn and return to Harjo's poetry for her breathtaking complex witness and for her world-remaking language." --Adrienne Rich
Joy Harjo was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is an internationally known poet, performer, writer, and saxophone player of the Mvskoke/Creek Nation. Her seven books of poetry include such well-known titles as How We Became Human: New and Selected Poems, The Woman Who Fell From the Sky, and She Had Some Horses, all published by W.W. Norton. Her poetry has garnered many awards including the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native Writers Circle of the Americas, 1998 Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Award, and the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. Soul Talk, Song Language (2011) is a collection of Harjo's essays and interviews was published by Wesleyan Press. She co-edited an anthology of contemporary Native women's writing: Reinventing the Enemy's Language: Native Women's Writing of North America, one of the London Observer's Best Books of 1997. She wrote the award-winning children's book, The Good Luck Cat (Harcourt), and in 2009 she published a Young Adult, coming-of-age-book, For A Girl Becoming, which won a Moonbeam Award and a Silver Medal from the Independent Publishers Awards. A memoir, Crazy Brave, is due out from W.W. Norton in 2012.
