Dialogue with Joy Harjo
Abstract
In this dialogue-interview, which took place in September 1998 at the University of Macerata, the poet Joy Harjo, a Muscogee Creek Indian, speaks about her native culture, American English language and colonization, constructions of identity and sense of place, music and the creation of her own poetry. Harjo also enters into the process of composition of some of her poems and collections (She Had Some Horses, Secrets from the Center of the World, In Mad Love and War) and tells of their symbolic and mythic worlds.
