A musical, magical, resilient volume from the first Native American Poet Laureate of the United States
In these poems, the joys and struggles of the everyday are played against the grinding politics of being human. Beginning in a hotel room in the dark of a distant city, we travel through history and follow the memory of the Trail of Tears from the bend in the Tallapoosa River to a place near the Arkansas River. Stomp dance songs, blues, and jazz ballads echo throughout. Lost ancestors are recalled. Resilient songs are born, even as they grieve the loss of their country. Called a “magician and a master” (San Francisco Chronicle), Joy Harjo is at the top of her form in Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings.

You can tell that music was an important part of her being. She often uses native phrases and bits of song in her work. Joy Harjo was also an accomplished jazz saxophone player, and those scatty rhythms are also present in her reading.
This is a powerful, inspirational collection.
It’s sad that Joy has left this life. It was wonderful to be able to hear her voice again as she narrated this volume of her poetry.

I always prefer to hear poetry in the voice of it's author, the only other way is to hear it in your own head as you read it with your own eyes.
I definitely recommend listening.
