Zusammenfassung:"A magnificent selection of fifty poems to celebrate three-term U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo's fifty years as a poet. Over a long, influential career in poetry. Joy Harjo has been praised for her "warm, oracular voice" that speaks "from a deep and timeless source of compassion for all". Her poems are musical, intimate, political, and wise, intertwining ancestral memory and tribal histories with resilience and love. In this gemlike volume, Harjo selects her best poems from across fifty years, beginning with her early discoveries of her own voice and ending with moving reflections on our contemporary moment. Weaving sundown in a scarlet light traces every occasion of a lifetime; it offers poems on birth, death, love, and resistance; on motherhood and on losing a parent; on fresh beginnings amidst legacies of displacement. Generous notes on each poem offer insight into Harjo's inimitable poetics as she takes inspiration from sunrise and horse songs and jazz, reckons with home and loss, and listens to the natural messengers of the earth. With a beautiful foreword by best-selling author Sandra Cisneros, Weaving sundown in a scarlet light is a stunning appreciation of an essential, original, and trailblazing voice in American poetry."
