Joy Harjo (Critical Survey of Short Fiction)
Other Literary Forms
Joy Harjo is best known as a poet, but some of her work in this form can best be described as prose poetry, so the difference between the two genres tends to blur in her books. In both the poetry and the prose, Harjo frequently uses Native American spiritual myths and symbols and southwestern settings (Oklahoma and New Mexico). She has also edited (with Gloria Bird) Reinventing the Enemy’s Language: Contemporary Native Women’s Writing of North America (1997).
