Sharing a house with friends in Mexico. I‘m leaving this collection out on the communal table so all can enjoy if they so choose.

Knocking out the September reading. Helps that a few of the pictured titles weren‘t very long. 😊

Congratulations to Joy Harjo! Tracy K. Smith had an excellent tenure but her time is up. I‘m off to check out some of Harjo‘s poetry now. Let me know if anyone has advice about where to start.

Joy Harjo‘s poetry applies the richness of Native American myth to the often bleak conditions of modern America and its downtrodden minorities, including those of Native American ancestry, struggling to find hope and redemption. This collection captures a huge swath of her career and serves as wonderful introduction to her writing. Highly recommended.
