An American Sunrise: Poems

byJoy Harjo

In this powerful and stirring collection, Joy Harjo reflects on moving to her tribe's original lands for the first time, on the blessings and difficulties of remembering and re-experiencing her tribe's forced removal, and on being innately and irrevocably connected to her ancestors. From the memory of her mother's death to her beginnings in the Native rights movement, Harjo's intimate life intertwines with tribal history in poems that sing of beauty and survival.
