Girl Warrior on Coming of Age by Joy Harjo, W.W. Norton and Company, New York, 2025.
Joy Harjo is a poet among other things. However I think this book deals mostly with being part of a community and a story. It includes poetry, but is not a bok of poems. She uses her dreams and her poetry to talk of how we are interconnected and part of a great weave. By using her own life experience she teaches how to be more accepting of self and more related with others. Her goal is to provide a springboard for young people, especially your women. I think she succeeds in that and the book is a good read.
