When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry by Jennifer Elise Foerster, LeAnne Howe, Joy Harjo
5.0
I don't read a lot of poetry, and I would like to read more. I was very excited when I found this book because it's new, I like Joy Harjo, and I'm generally interested in Native American fiction and literature. Still, I was daunted by 450 pages of it and figured I would skim it, skip around, leave parts untouched.
Nope. Sat down and was literally so absorbed I forgot to eat. Read every word, cover to cover. I don't know if this is just hitting me at a time when I really need it, but this is a beautiful anthology, thoughtfully organized and sourced, that made me feel deeply. I teared up at several points. Just pure magic.
