“Yes there’s a cosmic consciousness...How do I sing this so I/don’t forget? Ask the poets.”
I cried reading the first poem in this collection and Harjo continued to fill my heart back up after. I have read her poetry before, but reading an entire collection front to back was such an experience because of how beautifully she balances opposites: nothingness and fullness, mourning and celebration, ownership and oppression. This was absolutely breathtaking.

Reflections on history and navigating the present. Interesting to see her growth of ideas and perspective over quite a lifetime so far, and the influence of a national audience.
