DESCRIPTION:United States Poet Laureate and winner of the 2022 Academy of 
 American Poets Leadership Award, Joy Harjo, joins us for a chat about her 
 most recent memoir, Catching the Light and to discuss her rewarding lifeti
 me as a writer and poet. \r\nIn Catching the Light, Harjo examines the po
 wer of words and how poetry summons us toward justice and healing. In this
  lyrical meditation about the why of writing poetry, Harjo reflects on sig
 nificant points of illumination, experience, and questioning from her fift
 y years as a poet. Comprised of intimate vignettes that take us through th
 e author’s life journey as a youth in the late 1960s, a single mother, a
 nd a champion of Native nations, this book offers a fresh understanding of
  how poetry functions as an expression of purpose, spirit, community, and 
 memory.\r\nRegister Here: https://libraryc.org/wicomicolibrary/36831/regi
