And know there is more That you can't see, can't hear, Can't know except in moments Steadily growing, and in languages That aren't always sound but other Circles of motion. Like eagle that Sunday morning Over Salt River. Circled in blue sky In wind, swept our hearts clean With sacred wings. We see you, see ourselves and know That we must take the utmost care And kindness in all things. Breathe in, knowing we are made of All this, and breathe, knowing We are truly blessed because we Were born, and die soon within a True circle of motion, Like eagle rounding out the morning Inside us. We pray that it will be done In beauty. In beauty. Morning Prayers I have missed the guardian spirit of the Sangre de Cristos those mountains against which I destroyed myself every morning I was sick with loving and fighting in those small years.

Interview With Joy Harjo. The Growth and Change of the Poetic Voice... 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. Harjo’s 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. Her paternal greatgreat- grandfather led the Creek Indians in battles against Andrew Jackson’s soldiers in the early nineteenth century, but his daughter, Harjo’s greatgrandmother,...

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.

But stops in the corrugated tunnel, a space between leaving and staying, where the night sky catches approaching herself from here to there, Tulsa or New York with knives or corn meal. The last flight someone talked about how coming from Seattle the pilot flew a circle over Mt. St. Helens; she sat quiet. (But had seen the eruption as the earth beginning to come apart, as in birth out of violence.) She watches the yellow lights of towns below the airplane flicker, fade and fall backwards. Somewhere, she dreamed, there is the white bear moving down from the north, motioning her paws like a long arctic night, that kind of circle and the whole world balanced in between carved of ebony and ice oh so hard the clear black nights like her daughter's eyes, and the white

Bibliography Download the PDF Introduction Joy Harjo’s “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 America’s brutal history, the long suffering of Indians, and memories of the poet’s 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 word—the anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon, for instance—but 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 it’s been years.” But the rest of the poem—with descriptions of flames and crows, smoke and “a spiral of gods,” fish and “waving grass”—makes it very clear that there is nothing insignificant at all about the story the poem tells.

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

Joy Harjo (Creek) (b. 1951) Contributing Editor: C. B. Clark Classroom Issues and Strategies 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. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues 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). Significant Form, Style, or Artistic Conventions 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. Original Audience Ask the question: Is there any audience outside American Indians? The second audience is the student and the third is the general reader.
