A deeply personal story, written with humor and honesty, this book is a testimony to the ability of one individual to change the course of history through hard work, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to social justice. "A personal hero of mine." ~Louise Erdrich
A stunning new volume from the first Native American Poet Laureate of the U.S. Harjo's 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.
