Joy Harjo

A Map to the Next World

"This breathtakingly honest collection of writings is alive with deeply felt and beautifully expressed emotions."—Wilma Mankiller

In her fifth book, Joy Harjo, one of our foremost Native American voices, melds memories, dream visions, myths, and stories from America’s brutal history into a poetic whole.

"I turn and return to Harjo’s poetry for her breathtaking, complex witness and for her world-remaking language: precise, unsentimental, miraculous."—Adrienne Rich
