An American Sunrise by Joy Harjo

5.0

“Bless us, these lands, said the rememberer. These lands aren’t our lands. These lands aren’t your lands. We are this land.”

A masterpiece collection of poetry by Joy Harjo, Poet Laureate of the United States (at the time of publication).

Many of these poems should be required reading for history class in schools.

“The Old Ones will always tell you, your ancestors keep watch over you. Listen to them.”
