Books like A Map to the Next World by Joy Harjo


In her fifth book, Joy Harjo, one of our foremost Native American voices, melds memories, dream visions, myths, and stories from America's brutal history into a poetic whole. As her fierce conscience lays bare the strange, scarred topography at the margins of our collective consciousness, Harjo's visionary lyricism offers the hope of redemption.
