   Extractions: defaultStatus = "Welcome to the Joy Harjo website." ; Joy Harjo Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and an enrolled member of the Muskogee Tribe, Joy Harjo came to New Mexico to attend the Institute of American Indian Arts where she studied painting and theatre, not music and poetry, though she did write a few lyrics for an Indian acid rock band. Joy attended the University of New Mexico where she received her B.A. in 1976, followes by an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa. She has also taken part in a non-degree program in Filmmaking from the Anthropology Film Center. She began writing poetry when the national Indian political climate demanded singers and speakers, and was taken by the intensity and beauty possible in the craft. Her most recent book of poetry is the award-winning How We Became Human: New and Selected Poems . It wasn't until she was in Denver that she took up the saxophone because she wanted to learn how to sing and had in mind a band that would combine the poetry with a music there were no words yet to define, a music involving elements of tribal musics, jazz and rock. She eventually returned to New Mexico where she began the first stirrings of what was to be Joy Harjo and Poetic Justice when she began working with Susan Williams. Their first meeting occurred several years before in Blues Alley in Washington, D.C., a hint of things to come.

   Extractions: I believe those so-called 'womanly' traits are traits of the warrior. Vulnerability is one, you know. The word, warrior, it applies to women just as well. I don't see it as exclusive to a male society. Male and female traits are within each human, anyway. I've known some of the greatest warriors in my life. They've stood up in the face of danger, in the face of hopelessness. They've been bravenot in the national headlines, but they've been true to themselves, and who they are, and to their families. Their act of bravery could have been to feed their children, to more than survive. From an Interview with Helen Jaskoski On May 9, 1951, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the daughter of Allen W. and Wynema Baker Foster was born and enrolled as a member of the Creek tribe. The talented Native American, Joy Harjo, came from a family of Muscogee painters which she herself planned on becoming. Harjo is not a full-blood Native American and she did not live on the reservation. However, she is a full member of the Muscogee tribe. At the age of sixteen, she moved to the Southwest to attend the Institute of American Indian Arts. Switching her major from art to poetry, Harjo graduated from the University of New Mexico with a B.A. in poetry in 1976. Harjo then received her M.F.A. in creative writing from the University of Iowa in 1978. Approaching poetry as a visual artist, she brought her writing to a professional level. Harjo taught at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Arizona State University, and the University of Colorado, before becoming part of the English department at University of New Mexico in 1990. In addition to her busy lifestyle, she has a son named Phil and a daughter named Rainy Dawn.

    Extractions: Joy Harjo (1951) Joy Foster was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 9 th , 1951 to Wynema Baker and Allen W. Foster. She is an enrolled member of the Creek tribe, and is also of Cherokee, French, and Irish descent. Descended from a long line of tribal leaders on her father’s side, including Monahwee, leader of the Red Stick War against Andrew Jackson, she often incorporates into her poetry themes of Indian survival amidst contemporary American life. In 1970, at the age of 19, with the blessings of her parents, Foster took the last name of her maternal grandmother, Naomi Harjo. As she often credits her great aunt, Lois Harjo, with teaching her about her Indian identity, this name change may have helped her to solidify her public link with this heritage. Although primarily known as a poet, Harjo conceives of herself as a visual artist. She left Oklahoma at age 16 to attend the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, originally studying painting. After attending a reading by poet Simon Ortiz, she changed her major to poetry. At 17, she returned to Oklahoma to give birth to her son, Phil Dayn, walking four blocks while in labor to the Indian hospital in Talequah. Her daughter, Rainy Dawn, was born four years later in Albuquerque.

Other important influences include Leslie Silko , Simon Ortiz, Galway Kinnell, and Leo Remero. She attended class with Leslie Silko and Galway Kinnell which inspired her to become a poet and use the beauty of words to her advantage.

Carlos Nakai, Jackalope) Charley Baca - Guitar - (Red Earth, Darrell Tonemah) Shkeme - tribal singing and percussion - (the Rio Grande Singers) "At the heart of the music is Harjo's message of heart and strength." - CROSSWINDS REVIEW "The term poetic justice is a term of grace, expressing how justice can appear in the world despite forces of confusion and destruction. The band takes its name from this term because all of us have worked for justice in our lives, through any means possible and through music." - Joy Harjo Poet, Joy Harjo is the best-selling author of several books including "The Woman Who Fell From the Sky", "Reinventing the Enemy's Language", "the Spiral Memory", "In Mad Love and War", "Secrets From the Center of the World", "She Had Some Horses". With her band Poetic Justice, Harjo has opened for the Indigo Girls as part of their "Honor the Earth Tour" in 1996 (as well as being featured on the "Honor the Earth" CD), performed with Bonnie Raitt and Toad the Wet Sprocket and toured the U.S., Europe and India. Harjo plays saxophone and speaks her poetically potent lyrics over a "TRIBAL-JAZZ-REGGAE" backdrop, which also contains elements of rock, blues and prophecy. Harjo's rhythmic recitation of her poetry is the perfect complement to the bands blend of sunny grooves, tribal chanting and diverse instrumentation. On "Letter From the End of the Twentieth Century" (Silverwave Records), she shows us American history as seen through the eyes of her people. In her poetry we experience the spiritual world of the Native American and the Igbo people of Nigeria. She takes us to Washington, Chicago, Managua, and the Rio Grande. She speaks about the revolution of love, forgiveness, spirits, crows and rum.
