![]() Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() Another book that had been on my to-read list for a while, then I picked it up at the library when I spied it on the National Poetry Month display. Beautiful, mournful, inspiring, all the feelings. Another collection that is a mix of traditional poetry, short essays, quotes, and other tidbits -- deliberately creating and enriching the context the poems exist in. I love this format and found it very effective. This collection is loosely shaped around the Trail of Tears, moving backward and forward in time to explore the dislocations and absences, the culture, homes, and relationships lost, but also finding joy in what remains, in reclaiming memory, in forging new identities and new traditions in the ashes of what was left. A powerful collection. Summer 2021 (July); I started a grand quest through a large assortment of poetry & short story collections recommended from my APSI (AP Summer Institute) for AP Literature, and this is one of the many as you will see. Another piece by Joy Harjo, previous Poet Laureate, this was another gorgeous and glorious collection of the indigenous experience. I love the way she plays with words, and how she doesn't explain to the read piece meal everything as it's happening but allows for the reader to grow and learn through the over-arcing messages across her pieces. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: A stunning new volume from the first Native American Poet Laureate of the United States, informed by her tribal history and connection to the land. 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 finestâ??and most complicatedâ??poets" (Los Angeles Review of Books), Joy Harjo continues her legacy with this latest powerful collection No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
