Poet of Native American Roots to Read at Smith The Poetry Center at Smith College presents poet Joy Harjo at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 12, in Davis Ballroom, reading her poems and playing the alto sax. An enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Tribe, award-winning poet Harjo was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, studied at the University of New Mexico and received an MFA from the University of Iowa. Her rich multicultural lineage Harjo's mother was Cherokee, French and Irish and her father was Creek figures in her poetry, which explores the relationship between past and present, humans in their communities and the many aspects of the self. "I turn and return to Harjo's poetry for her breathtaking complex witness and for her world-remaking language: precise, unsentimental, miraculous," writes poet Adrienne Rich. Harjo's books include "She Had Some Horses" (1983), "In Mad Love and War" (1990), "The Woman Who Fell from the Sky" (1996) and, released early this year, "A Map to the Next World: Poems and Tales." This latest collection charts the murky territories of sexual abuse and unbearable Native histories. Bittersweet and unsentimental, it is a tale of survival, of traversing the darkness to finish her map to the next world: And it is all here. Everything that ever was.

LINKS Johnson, Sarah. "Major Project 1" http://www.wcbcourses.com/wcb2/students/sjohnson/modules/page8.html, 8 Oct. 1999. This site is a nice synopsis of the culture depicted in Joy Harjo's works. The author discusses the tribal influences on her works Anchorage and New Orleans . Try to visit this site; I find the issues mentioned on target to the themes in her works. This web site was created by a student of an online course, Web Course in a Box. Putnam, Anne. "Poet, Professor, Acitivist" http://coral.bucknell.edu/publications/bucknellian/sp97/2-13-97/lifest/3926.html, 6 Oct. 1999. I would recommend visiting this particular site. It was written by a staff writer, Anne Putnum, of the Bucknellian . The Bucknellian is an online student newspaper of Bucknell University. Joy Harjo participated in a poetry reading in order to improve on the Native American focus during this semester at Bucknell University. In addition to the poetry reading, she visited English classes at the university. I found this gesture quite impacting to the average student. It shows that Harjo cares about her audience enough to go out and interact with them. I was also impressed with Harjo's attempt to express her work to her auidence/fans on a more personal level, after viewing the site. This site elaborates on Harjo's style of poetry while providing some biobliographical information, as well. The site, itself, is not very exciting; however, I found the content to be interesting and informative.

88. Perhaps The World Ends Here By Joy Harjo Perhaps the World Ends Here. by joy harjo The world begins at a kitchentable. Edited by joy harjo and Gloria Bird. New York Norton, 1997. http://www.neiu.edu/~lsfuller/Poems/perhaps.htm

Perhaps the World Ends Here by Joy Harjo The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live. The gifts of earth are brought and prepared, set on the table so it has been since creation, and it will go on. We chase chickens or dogs away from it. Babies teethe at the corners. They scrape their knees under it. It is here that children are given instructions on what it means to be human. We make men at it, we make women. At this table we gossip, recall enemies and the ghosts of lovers. Our dreams drink coffee with us as they put their arms around our children. They laugh with us at our poor falling-down selves and as we put ourselves back together once again at the table. This table has been a house in the rain, an umbrella in the sun. Wars have begun and ended at this table. It is a place to hide in the shadow of terror. A place to celebrate the terrible victory. We have given birth on this table, and have prepared our parents for burial here. At this table we sing with joy, with sorrow. We pray of suffering and remorse.
