I am so glad to have read Joy Harjo's poetry. I am glad she is the new poet laureate. Each poem is full of feeling, of anger, of hope and love. Sincerity is married to skill here. I am also struck by her use of mythology, history and her use of specific images as motifs throughout her body of work. I look forward to reading more of her work.

I read this book with a reading group; I struggle to rate or even review poetry as it's not something I read very often. There are so many wonderfully evocative lines here, impactful repetition, and some poems left me quite emotional. I'd like to read more of Harjo's work.

Awesome poetry about being Indian (aka Native American), being a woman, a mother, horses, nature, alcoholism, and more. Don't know how I never heard of her before this, I liked her work almost as much as Billy Collins.
