Poet Warrior: A Memoir

byJoy Harjo

Three-term poet laureate Joy Harjo offers a vivid, lyrical, and inspiring call for love and justice in this contemplation of her trailblazing life. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Poet Warrior moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Poet Warrior within biography & autobiography, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the memoir continues to shape the present.
