“When Harjo confronts tragedy, she becomes our conscience.”

Washington Independent Review of Books

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

A musical, magical, resilient volume from the first Native American Poet Laureate of the United States

In these poems, the joys and struggles of the everyday are played against the grinding politics of being human. Beginning in a hotel room in the dark of a distant city, we travel through history and follow the memory of the Trail of Tears from the bend in the Tallapoosa River to a place near the Arkansas River. Stomp dance songs, blues, and jazz ballads echo throughout. Lost ancestors are recalled. Resilient songs are born, even as they grieve the loss of their country. Called a “magician and a master” (San Francisco Chronicle), Joy Harjo is at the top of her form in Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings.

    Native American history in a poetic message

    Here, for those who enjoy poetic history in short form, is a marvelous collection of Native American poems in four sectioned parts: How it came to be, the wanderer, Visions and monsters, the world. One could argue there just isn’t enough attention paid to the Native American heritage. Joy Harjo has not only written a noteworthy view of United States history but has also narrated her work in a compassionate voice of reason. Listen and learn much in this poetic wonderment.
