The woman who fell from the sky : poems
(Book)

A collection of twenty-four poems, centering on women, American culture, and Native American traditions.

"Joy Harjo, one of this country's foremost Native American voices, combines elements of storytelling, prayer, and song, informed by her interest in jazz and by her North American tribal background, in this, her fourth volume of poetry. She draws from the Native American tradition of praising the land and the spirit, the realities of American culture, and the concept of feminine individuality." -- Publisher's description
