DESCRIPTION:Joy Harjo’s CRAZY BRAVE: A Memoir is a spiritual coming-of-age memoir 
 from a poet praised for her “breathtaking complex witness and 
 word-remaking language” —Adrienne Rich\n\nIn this soul-stirring memoir, 
 grounded in tribal myth and ancestry, music and poetry, Joy Harjo, one of 
 our leading Native American voices, details her journey to becoming a poet. 
 Born in Oklahoma, the end place of the Trail of Tears, Harjo grew up 
 learning to dodge an abusive stepfather by finding shelter in her 
 imagination, a deep spiritual life, and connection with the natural world. 
 She attended an Indian arts boarding school, where she nourished an 
 appreciation for painting, music, and poetry; gave birth while still a 
 teenager; and struggled on her own as a single mother, eventually finding 
 her poetic voice. Narrating the complexities of betrayal and love, CRAZY 
 BRAVE is a memoir about family and the breaking apart necessary in finding 
 her spirit-charged voice. Harjo’s tale of a hardscrabble youth, young 
 adulthood, and transformation into an award-winning poet and musician is 
 haunting, unique, and visionary.\n\nMs. Harjo is a gifted writer who can 
 both celebrate and contemplate the mysteries and cycles of our ongoing 
 existence. —Amy Ray, Indigo Girls\n\n"Joy Harjo is now writing a 
 visionary poetry that is among the very best we have.” \n—Village 
 Voice\n\n"Defining the poet's role as a 'journey for truth, for justice,' 
 Harjo explores the role of the artist in society, the quest for love, the 
 links among the arts, what constitutes family, and what it means to be 
 human." —Library Journal\n\nHarjo is the author of 15 books and 6 music 
 albums, including: “She Had Some Horses”, The Woman Who Fell from the 
 Sky”, and “In Mad Love and War.”\n\nHosted by Mark Anquoe,
