Poems as Stories and Memories: Joy Harjo's Narrative Poetry

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Joy Harjo (1951-) is a Native American poet and musician. She identifies herself as belonging to the Muscogee/Creek nation and stresses that her family members are also related to the Cherokee nation. In 2002, she received a PEN/Open Book (known as the Beyond Margins Award through 2009) for her book A Map to the Next World: Poems and Tales. From the first poem in this collection, she makes clear that the word 'story' is central to her view of poetry. More specifically, many of her narrative poems read like stories about various moments of her life or reflect on the tradition of storytelling and ritual in Native American communities. Consequently, a related feature of Harjo's poetry is an interest in the past. While she occasionally reminds her audience of the violence committed against Native Americans throughout history, she sees remembering the past primarily as a source of one's identity and power, for example by emphasizing that the members of her nation would start to introduce themselves by explaining who their ancestors were. Thus, in my presentation, I will examine the ways in which Harjo's poetry illustrates the author's concepts of story and memory.
