When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry by LeAnne Howe, Jennifer Elise Foerster, Joy Harjo
5.0
Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry.
I have been making my way through this book for the last six months or so.
It’s very different from what I was expecting and unlike any poems that I have ever read.
I bought anthologies from four different poets that were featured in this particular collection. I always love when I discover authors who are knew to me.
The Pacific Northwest, Alaska, and Pacific Island section was the hardest for me to get through—though I can not say definitively why.
The Dakota 38 was something I’ve never heard of—I really enjoy learning new things about our nation’s history.
I never would have read this and in fact had never even heard of this book until Oprah selected it last, tumultuous fall.
