In the early 1800s, the Mvskoke people were forcibly removed from
their original lands east of the Mississippi to Indian Territory,
which is now part of Oklahoma. Two hundred years later, Joy Harjo
returns to her family's lands and opens a dialogue with history. In
An American Sunrise, Harjo finds blessings in the abundance of her
homeland and confronts the site where her people, and other
indigenous families, essentially disappeared. From her memory of
her mother's death, to her beginnings in the native rights
movement, to the fresh road 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 thrums with the
quiet anger of living in the ruins of injustice. A descendent 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.
