An American Sunrise: Poems by Joy Harjo
reflective
fast-paced
4.0
I may have finally discovered the successful way for me to consume poetry, personally - audiobooks! Listening to Joy Harjo read her own poems, in the correct pace, with the inflections and exclamations, she intended is so good. Such a better way for me to read poetry, versus my own clumsy usual way of reading with a partially wandering mind.
An American Sunrise is short, the audiobook is read in less than two hours. The poems are short, I imagine they're each a page or less in book form. There is vulnerability, sadness, resentment, reflection, wonder, beauty flowing throughout the pages. It's easy to sink in to her words and let them wash over you as she reflects in an almost musical way.
