Two hundred years later, Joy Harjo returns to her family’s lands and opens a dialogue with history. In \u003ci\u003eAn American Sunrise\u003c\/i\u003e, Harjo finds blessings in the abundance of her homeland and confronts the site where her people, and other indigenous families, essentially disappeared. From her memory of her mother’s death, to her beginnings in the native rights movement, to the fresh road with her beloved, Harjo’s personal life intertwines with tribal histories to create a space for renewed beginnings. Her poems sing of beauty and survival, illuminating a spirituality that connects her to her ancestors and thrums with the quiet anger of living in the ruins of injustice. A descendent of storytellers and “one of our finest—and most complicated—poets” (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e), Joy Harjo continues her legacy with this latest powerful collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoy Harjo \u003c\/b\u003eis a member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
