About this listen

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.

Joy Harjo brought me lots of joy while I listened to her lively narration of so many and meaningful poems. I found my self rewinding and repeating chapters to better appreciate her wordsmith craft and was thankful for how much her work has made me think about the unfairness and greediness that infects and depletes this world. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is the collection of ongs. I get why they are there and why they are sung, but they just didn't speak to me. Maybe for being so similar in melody.
