Celebrating Earth Day with U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo: An American Sunrise
 |
| Literary curator Louise Steinman |
A member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Harjo is the first Native American to be named Poet Laureate of the United States.
Joining her in conversation is literary curator Louise Steinman (pictured at left).
Harjo explores the ways her poems create a dialogue with history: finding blessings in the abundance of her homeland while thrumming with quiet anger at living in the ruins of injustice.
“[Joy Harjo’s] poetry is light and elixir, the very best prescription for us in wounded times.”
— Author Sandra Cisneros
