Summary:
"United States Poet Laureate Joy Harjo gathers the work of more than 160 poets, representing nearly 100 indigenous
nations
, into the first historically comprehensive
Native
poetry
anthology
. This landmark
anthology
celebrates the indigenous peoples of North America, the first poets of this country, whose literary traditions stretch back centuries. Opening with a blessing from Pulitzer Prize-winner N. Scott Momaday, the book contains powerful introductions from contributing editors who represent the five geographically organized sections. Each section begins with a poem from traditional oral literatures and closes with emerging poets, ranging from Eleazar, a seventeenth-century
Native
student at Harvard, to Jake Skeets, a young Dinae poet born in 1991, and including renowned writers such as Luci Tapahanso, Natalie Diaz, Layli Long Soldier, and Ray Young Bear. When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through offers the extraordinary sweep of
Native
literature, without which no study of American
poetry
is complete."--From publisher.
