Description
“Full of celebration, crisis, brokenness, and healing.― - Daisy Fried, New York Times
“If you only read one book of poems this summer, make it An American Sunrise.... Every step
of the journey is deeply moving... Rich and deeply engaging, An American SunriseÂ
creates bridges of understanding while reminding readers to face and remember the past.― -
Elizabeth Lund, Washington Post“While the subject matter of her new poems continuously
hits you in the gut, Harjo brings a sense of resilience to that dark history.― - Christian Allaire,
Vogue“Radiant... [A] profound, brilliantly conceived song cycle celebrating ancestors, present
and future generations, historic endurance and fresh beginnings.― - Jane Ciabattari, BBC“
An American Sunrise is a wisdom quest as Joy Harjo returns to the place of her ancestors. This
haunting and breathtaking book invokes the relocation of the southeastern peoples, of what they
endured and lost. Harjo is a visionary and a truth sayer, and her expansive imagination sweeps
time, interpolating history into the present. She writes: 'Rivers are the old roads, as are songs, to
traverse memory.' Creating a confluence of words, a new language for storytelling arises. An
American Sunrise is a powerful tour de force.― - Elise Paschen, author of The Nightlife
“Resplendent and reverberating... Harjo's bracing political perspective is matched by timeless
wisdom... In clarion, incantatory poems that recalibrate the heart and mind, Harjo conveys both the
endless ripples of loss and the brightening beauty and hope of the sunrise.― - Booklist Read

Limón, Alicia Ostriker, and D. A. Powell'[Joy Harjoâ€s] poetry is light and elixir, the very best
prescription for us in wounded times.' – Sandra Cisneros, The Millions'Joy Harjo is one of the
real poets of our mixed, fermenting, end-of-century imagination' – Adrienne Rich'Joy Harjo is a
