Summary

“Though we have instructions and a map buried in our hearts when we enter this world,” the extraordinary Joy Harjo has written, “nothing quite prepares us for the abrupt shift to the breathing realm.” She is a saxophone player and performer, a visual artist, a member of the Muscogee Creek Nation, and the 23rd Poet Lau\xadre\xadate of the Unit\xaded States. She opens up with Krista about her life, dreaming as a way of relating to time and place, and the story matrix that connects us all.
