beththeawkward's review against another edition
Not the book's fault at all! Poetry doesn't work for me on audio, I think. I need to chew on the words more. Unfortunately, the audio is all my library has! Would love to try this poet again sometime, though.

Because Joy Harjo reads (and sings!) in the audiobook, I recommend that version.

Not my favorite poetry, but there were a few poems that really stuck out and I loved the context provided between poems

bibliobrandie's review against another edition
This collection pays homage to Harjo's ancestors who traveled the Trail of Tears. Through poems, short passages, and historical anecdotes, Harjo talks of (and to) her spiritual grandfather, Monawee, as well as aunts, uncles, and other relatives. The two poems that I enjoyed most were: Song 4-Siox-Soldier-Sold, and Honoring.

A collection of poems by the U.S.'s first Native American Poet Laureate. These poem's reflect on the history of Harjo's Mvskoke people, also her thoughts on her families lives and her own experiences working for Native rights.
This was a good, straight-forward collection with a message.
