Where the World Ends; poet, Joy Harjo [SSL155]

Poetry by its form and delivery can create space and time for reflection giving us a chance to feel clarity and more abundance. Today I share 3 poems that give us a most extraordinary look at ordinary things that mark our lives and weave them tougher by a talented woman who is a sage for us especially in more difficult times.
Joy Harjo was appointed the United States poet laureate in 2019. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1951, Harjo is a member of the Mvskoke/Creek Nation.  🚩and accept my apologies, in this episode I mispronounce Harjo with a Spanish silent “J”. <HAR-joe> is the correct way to say this poet’s surname. Locate Joy’s work and poetry books HERE (Music in this episode from Free Music Archives. song: Rain by Unheard Music Concepts)

Eps. 172: Wild Hope; Guest, Gayle Boss

My guest is author Galye Boss. Her stunning Advent book about how various North American animals wait out and survive the dark, cold winter was an instant classic. Now, she releases a fitting second book, this time for Lent. This too, is another gorgeously-illustrated book that features 24 amazing animals of the world that are vanishing from existence. (David G. Klein, Illustrator) Our conversation covers topics in both her books and a lovely reading from Wild Hope by Gayle.
