Extractions: defaultStatus = "Welcome to the Joy Harjo website." ; Joy Harjo Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and an enrolled member of the Muskogee 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, followes 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 best-selling The Woman Who Fell From the Sky . 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.

Contact us (please note that we have no contact with the writers and cannot provide contact information) 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. From an Interview with Helen Jaskoski Joy Harjo Photo credits Click to go to:

The band takes its name from this term because all of us have worked for justice in our lives, through any means possible and through music." - Joy Harjo Poet, Joy Harjo is the best-selling author of several books including "The Woman Who Fell From the Sky", "Reinventing the Enemy's Language", "the Spiral Memory", "In Mad Love and War", "Secrets From the Center of the World", "She Had Some Horses". With her band Poetic Justice, Harjo has opened for the Indigo Girls as part of their "Honor the Earth Tour" in 1996 (as well as being featured on the "Honor the Earth" CD), performed with Bonnie Raitt and Toad the Wet Sprocket and toured the U.S., Europe and India. Harjo plays saxophone and speaks her poetically potent lyrics over a "TRIBAL-JAZZ-REGGAE" backdrop, which also contains elements of rock, blues and prophecy. Harjo's rhythmic recitation of her poetry is the perfect complement to the bands blend of sunny grooves, tribal chanting and diverse instrumentation. On "Letter From the End of the Twentieth Century" (Silverwave Records), she shows us American history as seen through the eyes of her people. In her poetry we experience the spiritual world of the Native American and the Igbo people of Nigeria. She takes us to Washington, Chicago, Managua, and the Rio Grande. She speaks about the revolution of love, forgiveness, spirits, crows and rum.

Native Joy is Joy Harjo's long awaited CD release since the appearance of her award-winning Poetic Justice CD, Letter From the End of the Twentieth Century from Silver Wave Records in 1997. This project marks a shift in musical style and accomplishment, from a native dub jazzy-reggae spoken word to a song-chant-jazz-tribal fusion. Harjo sings. Her voice has been compared by early reviewers of the preview CD to Suzanne Vega or Sade. Her saxophone sound has matured. Michael Sena has assisted with production, arrangements and musical accompaniment. Native Joy is scheduled to be released on Harjo's own label, Mekko Records by June of 2003.
