What People are Saying About This

Adrienne Rich

I turn and return to Harjo's poetry for her breathtaking, complex witness and for her world-remaking language: precise, unsentimental, miraculous.

Sandra Cisneros

I fell in love with these poems, with their clarity and light, their wisdom born somewhere between sky and earth.
