Poet Laureate Joy Harjo's “Girl Warrior” Guide

Season 2 Episode 234

We are in what today’s guest calls a dark night of our national soul. But this notion of becoming is what Joy Harjo, the renowned poet, performer, writer and activist of the Muscogee Creek Nation takes up in her career. She is just out with “Girl Warrior: On Coming of Age”, a guide, dedicated especially to Indigenous girls, for people trying to find their way in a time of transformation.
