Joy Harjo From NativeWiki Jump to: navigation search Contents Awards Writing Available Online Books by Joy Harjo Anthologies ... See Also Born May 9, 1951 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and an enrolled member of the Muscogee Tribe, Joy Harjo came to New Mexico to attend the Institute of American Indian Arts where she studied painting and theatre, not music and poetry, though she did write a few lyrics for an Indian acid rock band. Joy attended the University of New Mexico where she received her B.A. in 1976, followed by an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa. She has also taken part in a non-degree program in Filmmaking from the Anthropology Film Center. She began writing poetry when the national Indian political climate demanded singers and speakers, and was taken by the intensity and beauty possible in the craft. Her most recent book of poetry is the award-winning How We Became Human: New and Selected Poems . It wasn't until she was in Denver that she took up the saxophone because she wanted to learn how to sing and had in mind a band that would combine the poetry with a music there were no words yet to define, a music involving elements of tribal musics, jazz and rock. She eventually returned to New Mexico where she began the first stirrings of what was to be Joy Harjo and Poetic Justice when she began working with Susan Williams. Their first meeting occurred several years before in Blues Alley in Washington, D.C., a hint of things to come.

Joy Harjo Joy Harjo, a Native American born in Oklahoma, challenges the prevailing boundaries of southwestern writers. She moves with ease among the various tribes of the region, and her poetry hasbeen influenced not only by her own Creek traditions, but by the Navajo Beauty Way, like Luci Tapahanso, and by Pueblo stories, as in the work of Simon Ortiz. At home in the mesas, mountains, and sagebrush flats of NewMexico and Arizona, her work is grounded in her relationship to the earth, on a physical, spiritual, and mythopoetic level. Like fellow Oklahoman and Native American poet Linda Hogan, Harjo's writing contains a disturbing mixture of darkness and beauty, atonce a lament and a moving incantation. "Sacred spaceI call it a place of grace, or the place in which we're most humanthe place in which there's a unity of human-ness with wolf-ness, with hummingbird-ness, with Sandia Mountain-ness with rain cloud-ness? . . .It's that place in which we understand there is no separation between worlds. It has everything to do with the way we live. The land is responsible for the clothes you have on, for my saxophone, for the paper that I write these things on, for our bodies. It's responsible for everything." -Joy Harjo Click here to hear an excerpt on Joy Harjo from Writing the Southwest.

Remember Remember the sky that you were born under, know each of the star's stories. Remember the moon, know who she is. I met her in a bar once in Iowa City. Remember the sun's birth at dawn, that is the strongest point of time. Remember sundown and the giving away to night. Remember your birth, how your mother struggled to give you form and breath. You are evidence of her life, and her mother's, and hers. Remember your father. He is your life also. Remember the earth whose skin you are: red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth brown earth, we are earth. Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them, listen to them. They are alive poems. Remember the wind. Remember her voice. She knows the origin of this universe. I heard her singing Kiowa war dance songs at the corner of Fourth and Central once. Remember that you are all people and that all people are you. Remember that you are this universe and that this universe is you. Remember that all is in motion, is growing, is you.

For complete information, visit Joy's website a> Joy Harjo No Yes that was me you saw shaking with bravery, with a government issued rifle on my back. I’m sorry I could not greet you as you deserved, my relative. They were not my tears. I have a resevoir inside. They will be cried by my sons, my daughters if I can’t learn how to turn tears to stone. Yes, that was me standing in the back door of the house in the alley, with fresh corn and bread for the neighbors. I did not forsee the flood of blood. How they would forget our friendship, would return to kill me and the babies. Yes, that was me whirling on the dance floor. We made such a racket with all that joy. I loved the whole world in that silly music. I did not realize the terrible dance in the staccato of bullets. Yes. I smelled the burning grease of corpses. And like a fool I expected our words might rise up and jam the artillery in the hands of dictators. We had to keep going. We sang our grief to clean the air of turbulent spirits.

When we make love in the flower world My heart is close enough to sing to you in a language too clumsy, for human words. This is my head. It is a good head. Whirrs inside with a swarm of worries. What is the source of this mystery. as real as these hands hammering the world together? This is my soul. It is a good soul. And we sit together We cook a little something to eat, then a sip of something sweet, for memory, for memory. This is my song. It is a good song. It walked forever the border of fire and water climbed ribs of desire to sing to you. Its new wings quiver with vulnerability. Come lie next to me. Put your head here.
