http://freewebs.com/lilylitreview/1_6harjointerview.html

Extractions: 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, followed 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.

She is typically considered a Native American poet, and this is the part of her ancestry with which she identifies most closely. Harjos birth name, however, was Joy Foster, and between her mother and father, she can claim Creek and Cherokee Indian, African American, Irish, and French heritage. She is an official member of the Muscogee tribe of the Creek Nation, and much of her poetry derives themes from growing up with a mixed ancestry, never feeling that she was fully accepted by any race or ethnicity.

joy harjo Poet with a Midwestern Charm. joy harjo s Published Works It s responsible for everything. joy harjo. By Stephanie Bauman.
http://project1.caryacademy.org/echoes/poet_Joy_Harjo/Defaultharjo.htm

Extractions: The Last Song (1975) " S acred spaceI call it a place of grace, or the place in which we're most humanthe place in which there's a unity of human-ness with wolf-ness, with hummingbird-ness, with Sandia Mountain-ness with rain cloud-ness? . . .It's that place in which we understand there is no separation between worlds. It has everything to do with the way we live. The land is responsible for the clothes you have on, for my saxophone, for the paper that I write these things on, for our bodies. It's responsible for everything." -Joy Harjo By Stephanie Bauman The Multi-Talented Muskogee Creek Poet T he Muskogee Creek heritage, tribal memories, freedom, love of nature, and survival skills all inspired Joy Harjo to write her unique poetry that "challenges the prevailing boundaries of southwestern writers." Growing up in the Muskogee Creek Tribe, Harjo was born on May 9, 1951 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Alexander Posey, another creek poet, inspired Harjo as she was growing up in Oklahoma. She attended the University of New Mexico for the painting and theatre program, but started writing poetry when the national Indian political climate was seeking vocalists and speakers. Harjo received a BA from The University of New Mexico in 1976, and then was further educated at the University of Iowa and earned a MFA in 1978. Harjo's education experience opened her up to create poetry that symbolizes her Native American heritage.

Bibliography Download the PDF Introduction Joy Harjos Anniversary is a creation poem that is, it attempts to recount how the world began and when humankind came to be. It is included in the aptly titled collection Map to the Next World , but it differs from many other poems in this book in that its themes and language are not as pessimistic and they do not center on human cruelty. Published in 2000, on the brink of a new millennium, and subtitled Poetry and Tales, Map to the Next World takes readers through stories, in both prose and verse, of Americas brutal history, the long suffering of Indians, and memories of the poets own bitter past. However, some of the poems in this collection offer hope for a better future and describe the miracles of human nature instead of its brutality. Anniversary is one of these. The title of this poem is indicative of its celebratory premise, for anniversaries are typically considered happy occasions. Yes, humans also mark the sad dates of the deaths of loved ones or of national tragedies with the same wordthe anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon, for instancebut more often an anniversary is a measurement of time for a pleasant event. Harjo, of course, cannot specify exactly which anniversary this is for the human race. That debate has been going on among theologians and scientists for centuries. She treats the number, no matter what it is, as relatively insignificant. The last line of the poem reads simply, And its been years. But the rest of the poemwith descriptions of flames and crows, smoke and a spiral of gods, fish and waving grassmakes it very clear that there is nothing insignificant at all about the story the poem tells.

Extractions: 11:15 AM - Noon Book signing and reception in P.H. Foyer. Joy Harjo is one of the foremost voices in American literature today. Joy is a critically acclaimed poet whose publications include She Had Some Horses Secrets From the Center of the World In Mad Love and War (1990), and The Woman Who Fell From the Sky (1994). Harjo's poetic expression has a lyrical and mystical quality. Harjo was the narrator for "The Native Americans Series" on TBS and more recently, "Navajo Codetalkers" for National Geographic which recently won an Emmy. She is also a gifted musician and teacher. Harjo performs nationally and internationally solo, and with her band, "Joy Harjo and Poetic Justice" for which she plays the saxophone. Harjo was born on May 9, 1951 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Allen W. Foster (Muskogee Creek) and Wynema (Baker) Foster (Cherokee). When she was eight years old, Harjo's parents divorced. This was a period of "distance and difficulty." She attended high school at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, an environment that "set her artistic self in motion." Harjo completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing at the University of New Mexico (1976) and Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Iowa (1978). She eventually became a tenured professor at the University of New Mexico, taking leave in 1994. Email questions or comments to Richland's

Extractions: (b. 1951) Contributing Editor: C. B. Clark It's important to make certain that students read the biographical notes and footnotes provided in the text. Consider also using audiotapes of Harjo reading and discussing her own work. Imperialism, colonialism, dependency, nostalgia for the old ways, reverence for grandparents and elders, resentment of conditions of the present, plight of reservation and urban Indians, natural world, sense of hopelessness, power of the trickster, idea that the feminine is synonymous with heritage, deadly compromise, symbol of all that has been lost (such as the land), tension between the desire to retrieve the past and the inevitability of change, the arrogance of white people, problems of half-breeds (or mixed-bloods). Harjo uses free verse. She is aware of classic European form, but chooses not to use it. She does try oral chant, as in "She Had Some Horses." She is not in any school, except American Indian. Ask the question: Is there any audience outside American Indians? The second audience is the student and the third is the general reader.
