Weaving sundown in a scarlet light : fifty poems for fifty years

Harjo, Joy (author., Author). Cisneros, Sandra, (writer of foreword., Author of introduction, etc.).

Summary: "In this selection of poems Harjo, a three-term US Poet Laureate, celebrates her fifty years as a poet. While musical, intimate, political and wise, they intertwine ancestral memory and tribal histories with resilience and love. From her early discoveries for her own voice to moving reflections of our contemporary movement, she offers poems on birth, death, love, and resistance-- and everything they encompass."--Adapted from jacket
