United States Poet Laureate and winner of the 2022 Academy of American Poets Leadership Award Joy Harjo examines the power of words and how poetry summons us toward justice and healing

Joy Harjo er Muscogee-indianar. Ho vart fødd i Tulsa, Oklahoma i 1951, og bur på Hawaii. Ho er diktar, musikar og universitetslærar, og turnerer ofte i USA med bandet sitt, Poetic Justice, der ho spelar saksofon.Det er trugande avgrunnar i diktinga hennar; den tragiske historia til den nordamerikanske urbefolkinga og hennar eiga eksistensielle redsle. Det historiske og personlege heng saman på ein særskild måte hos Harjo. Ho viser det indianske folkets tragedie, ikkje gjennom store slag og konfliktar, men i kvardagen, i redsle, i tankar, i rus, i kjærleik og mangel på kjærleik. Ho kartlegg fornedringa for dagens indianarar. Ho gjer det hardt, men også forsonleg.Gjendiktet ved Lars Amund Vaage
