Episode: Joy Harjo — The Whole of Time
This is a new memoir by Joy Harjo, coming from a different perspective due to her age and looking back on her life. It's similar to Crazy Brave but different.
My new memoir, Poet Warrior, which will be out in September, it's similar but different. And it certainly is coming from a different point of view from being much older and looking back because when we come through that doorway, when we take on breath or inspire spirit, we take on the spirit here. And we're young. We are close to that door of knowing everything, you know, the door of eternity. And we're so creative and artists of any sort are always trying to replicate or be in that kind of space. And then when you get older, when you cross the 50 year mark, you know, you're starting to head out the other way. And then when you get to my age, you realize it opens up. It's not like maybe some people become children again, but what it does is you're once again closer to that kind of knowing and awareness.

This is a new memoir by Joy Harjo, mentioned as being similar but different to her previous memoir, "Crazy Brave". It offers a perspective from a more mature point of view, reflecting on the author's life and experiences with age.
I actually have the manuscript, the first pass proofs of Poet Warrior up.
So I was wondering, I might be able to read a little something from that.
And my new memoir, Poet Warrior, which will be out in September.
