I've read some of Joy Harjo's poems, and was planning on reading one of her poetry collections, but I didn't know she wrote a memoir and it sounded interesting.
This is a very different type of memoir. It's very poetic. It flows in an interesting, kind of dreamy way. There is a general chronological arc, but it also feels like a collection of stories from her life because of the way some are kind of tangentially inserted between others.
I like the insight into her beliefs and the struggles of Native Americans, especially Native women.
Overall a beautiful, though heartbreaking read.

Harjo's experiences as an indigenous person living in the United States are really important to hear, and I think that the details of this book are really informative.
