Extractions: JUNE 8, 2000: Joy Harjo is an award-winning poet whose books include She Had Some Horse, In Mad Love and War, The Woman Who Fell from the Sky, and the recently released A Map to the Next World (W.W. Norton and Company). She is a member of the Muskogee Tribe, and she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native Writer's Circle of the Americas. She moved to Hawaii two years ago, and is currently writing short stories. She has been playing saxophone for about 12 years, mixing jazz, reggae, and tribal rock alongside her band Poetic Justice. They have released a CD called Letters from the End of the Twentieth Century. What was it that brought you to the saxophone? I've always liked the sound of the saxophone. It sounds to me like a human voice. It is an extension of voice. Later, I found out that my grandmother, Naomi Harjo, also played saxophone. She was a full-blood Cree woman. She passed away when my father was small, so I never knew her personally. She was a painter and she also played saxophone in the early 1900s, which is something that blows apart people's stereotypes of Indian people. Was the saxophone your first instrument?

Extractions: Assignment 5: Native American Poetry Cultural Artifacts Joy Harjo "You can tell the state of the world by how far we are from the kitchen table" -Joy Harjo We will see excerpts from a videorecording of Harjo reading "Perhaps the World Ends Here," and a song by her band, Poetic Justice. I think that this cultural artifact is necessary to our discussion of the poem and its gender specificity. The song is interesting in that it displays Harjo's jazz influence. Poetic Justice identifies with Hopi, Navajo, and Northern Plains music and has roots in Rock and Jazz. Later in the recording she is interviewed by Lewis MacAdams and she discusses her Jazz influences, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Song, music and dance is the history of poetry. She highlights some of the parallels between afro american jazz and the black power movement to native american music, poetry and movements around the same time that found native americans defining themselves internally rather than in opposition to white society. I thought this would be a great jumping off point to a discussion of .. dun dun da da.. how the two segments of the course interact.

Extractions: (b. 1951) Contributing Editor: C. B. Clark It's important to make certain that students read the biographical notes and footnotes provided in the text. Consider also using audiotapes of Harjo reading and discussing her own work. Imperialism, colonialism, dependency, nostalgia for the old ways, reverence for grandparents and elders, resentment of conditions of the present, plight of reservation and urban Indians, natural world, sense of hopelessness, power of the trickster, idea that the feminine is synonymous with heritage, deadly compromise, symbol of all that has been lost (such as the land), tension between the desire to retrieve the past and the inevitability of change, the arrogance of white people, problems of half-breeds (or mixed-bloods). Harjo uses free verse. She is aware of classic European form, but chooses not to use it. She does try oral chant, as in "She Had Some Horses." She is not in any school, except American Indian. Ask the question: Is there any audience outside American Indians? The second audience is the student and the third is the general reader.

Extractions: Praise for this title Intimate, illuminating conversations with one of the most important voices in contemporary American poetry. With the recently-published The Woman Who Fell from the Sky , Joy Harjo has emerged as one of the most powerful Native American voices of her generation. Over the past two decades, Harjo has refined and perfected a unique poetic voice that speaks her multifaceted experience as Native American, woman and Westerner in twentieth-century society. The Spiral of Memory gathers the conversations in which Harjo has articulated her singular yet universal perspective on the world and her poetry. She reflects upon the nuances and development of her art, the importance of her origins, the arduous reconstruction of the tribal past, the dramatic confrontation between Native American and Anglo civilizations, the existential and artistic itinerary through present-day America, and other provocative and profoundly human themes. Joy Harjo is the author of several volumes of poetry. She received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Before Columbus Foundation, and the Poetry Society of America. She is Professor of English, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Laura Coltelli is Associate Professor of American Literature, University of Pisa.

Extractions: Modern America, 1914 - present By Vonti McRae, Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Joy Harjo is an Native American activist who has been able to capture through poetry, the history and social standing of her people. Born an enrolled member of the Creek Tribe, she has been able to put into context personal and social issues by writing poetry. Growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Harjo learned most of her Native American identity from her great aunt. As a young girl, Harjo dreamed of becoming a missionary. This aspiration was crushed by a local minister who embarrassed 2 Mexican girls who were being noisy in church, by asking them to leave. Harjo felt the situation was not handled properly, so she left for good. She later decided to follow in her family's footsteps and become a Muscogee painter. At the age of sixteen, she moved to the Southwest to attend the Institute of American Indian Arts to perfect this craft. At the indian school, American writers, Leslie Marmon Silko and Simon Ortiz, gave readings of their work. These readings along with other writers' works, led her to give up painting and devote herself to writing poetry. Some of her poetic themes have emphasized reasons Indians drink and why many can not control this habit. In 1976, Harjo graduated from the University of New Mexico with a B.A. in poetry. She later goes on to earn an M.F.A. from Iowa University in creative writing, in 1978. After developing her skills to write poetry, she began to use the beauty of words to her advantage. In 1975
