An American Sunrise by Joy Harjo

5.0

I don't read much poetry but loved the audio book of Joy Harjo reading An American Sunrise. Harjo writes of her history -- her ancestors who were removed from their lands- and the impact it has on her today. She writes beautifully about her mother's death, helping us see and understand more about her culture, traditions, and history. This is a beautiful collection that makes you want to sit and savor every word.
