When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry

Edited by Joy Harjo, with contributing editors LeAnne Howe, and Jennifer Elise Foerster (W. W. Norton & Company, 2020)

If you want to engross yourself in poetry, why not take a historical trip through the poetics of Native America? Edited by U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, this collection is an impressive volume that provides historical context to various poetic movements in Indian Country through time and space. The anthology includes several Native American poets from our region including Jake Skeets (Diné), Tacey M. Atsitty (Diné), Sherwin Bitsui (Diné), Luci Tapahanso (Diné), Leslie Marmon Silko (Laguna), and Simon Ortiz (Acoma). Most profoundly, it provides a landbased context for all literature written in the Americas.
