    Extractions: b. 1951 I believe those so-called 'womanly' traits are traits of the warrior. Vulnerability is one, you know. The word, warrior, it applies to women just as well. I don't see it as exclusive to a male society. Male and female traits are within each human, anyway. I've known some of the greatest warriors in my life. They've stood up in the face of danger, in the face of hopelessness. They've been bravenot in the national headlines, but they've been true to themselves, and who they are, and to their families. Their act of bravery could have been to feed their children, to more than survive. Jump to: Biography and Criticism Selected Bibliography Non-English Materials Related Links The love of language that Harjo possesses comes from her father's grandfather who was a full-blood Creek Baptist minister and her mother who composed songs that could translate heartache. Other important influences include Leslie Silko , Simon Ortiz, Galway Kinnell, and Leo Remero. She attended class with Leslie Silko and Galway Kinnell which inspired her to become a poet and use the beauty of words to her advantage. Since that time, Joy has released six major books containing her powerful works of poetry.

JOY HARJO, Poet and Musician: I'm Joy Harjo. I am a member of the Muskogee people. I'm a poet, a musician, a dreamer of sorts, a questioner. Like everyone else, I'm looking for answers of some sort or the other. I have a name to live up to: Joy Harjo. In Muskogee, Harjo is "Hadjo." And one definition is, "So brave, you're crazy." I clearly remember the day that poetry, the spirit of poetry came to me and looked at me and shook its head and took pity on me. It said, "You poor thing. You don't know how to listen. Listen to me. Listen."

As a member of the Muskogee tribe, Harjo attended the Institute of American Indian Arts in New Mexico, where she studied painting and theater. She began writing poetry in 1973, the same year the federal government took over the village of Wounded Knee in South Dakota's Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation. Harjo felt the national Indian political climate demanded singers and speakers, so she took up the saxophone to reflect Native American political issues with a sound involving elements of tribal musics, jazz and rock. Harjo, one of America's foremost poets, blends storytelling, prayer and song in work drawn from Native American tradition of praising the land and the spirit. She performs her poetry and plays saxophone with her band Poetic Justice. "It doesn't make sense for a poet/singer to play saxophone," she said to the Boston Herald in April 2003. "But I love the sound of the saxophone. To me it sounds like the human voice. I liked the places where a saxophone could goplaces where words can't."

    Extractions: Joy Harjo: Profile Joy Harjo was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on May 9th, 1951 to Wynema Baker and Allen W. Foster.  She is an enrolled member of the Creek tribe, and is also of Cherokee, French, and Irish descent.  Descended from a long line of tribal leaders on her father’s side, including Monahwee, leader of the Red Stick War against Andrew Jackson, she often incorporates into her poetry themes of Indian survival amidst contemporary American life.  In 1970, at the age of 19, with the blessings of her parents, Joy took the last name of her maternal grandmother, Naomi Harjo.  As she often credits her great aunt, Lois Harjo, with teaching her about her Indian identity, this name change may have helped her to solidify her public link with this heritage.              Although primarily known as a poet, Harjo conceives of herself as a visual artist.  She left Oklahoma at age 16 to attend the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, originally studying painting.  After attending a reading by poet Simon Ortiz, she changed her major to poetry.  At 17, she returned to Oklahoma to give birth to her son, Phil Dayn, walking four blocks while in labor to the Indian hospital in Talequah. Her daughter, Rainy Dawn, was born four years later in Albuquerque.  For years, Harjo supported herself and her children with a variety of jobs:  waitress, service-station attendant, hospital janitor, nurse’s assistant, dance teacher.  She then went on to earn a B.A. in English from the University of New Mexico in 1976 and an M.F.A. in poetry from the University of Iowa’s famed Iowa Writer’s Workshop in 1978.  She then went on to an impressive list of teaching positions beginning with the Institute of American Indian Arts. She currently teaches at both the University of Hawaii and the University of California at Los Angeles.

Strongly influenced by her Muscogee Creek heritage, feminist and social concerns, and her background in the arts, Harjo frequently incorporates Native American myths, symbols, and values into her writing. Her poetry emphasizes the Southwest landscape and the need for remembrance and transcendence. She is also praised for her powerful poetic voice and clear vision. Harjo's work is largely autobiographical, informed by her love of the natural world and preoccupation with transcendence, survival, and the limitations of language. The search for freedom and self-actualization are considered central to her volume She Had Some Horses , which incorporates prayer-chants and animal imagery. Nature is also a prominent theme of her prose poetry collection

Harjo next turned to painting, following in the footsteps of her great aunt. She studied art as a boarding student at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she also attended readings by Native American poets such as Leslie Marmon Silko and Simon Ortiz. She had a son, Phil, while a student there. Harjo continued to pursue painting as an undergraduate student at the University of New Mexico (UNM), where she also studied the Navajo language. In her senior year, inspired in part by a reading by poet Galway Kinnell, she shifted her focus to creative writing.
