In this transcendent memoir, grounded in tribal myth and ancestry, music and poetry, Pleasure Harjo, one of our leading Local American voices, details her quest to learning to be a poet. Delivered in Oklahoma, the finish host to the Trail of Tears, Harjo grew up learning to dodge an abusive stepfather by finding shelter in her thoughts, a deep spiritual life, and reference to the natural world. She attended an Indian arts boarding institution, where she nourished an appreciation for painting, music, and poetry; offered delivery while still a teenager; and struggled on her own as an individual mom, eventually finding her poetic tone of voice. Narrating the complexities of betrayal and love, Crazy Brave is a memoir about family and the breaking apart necessary to find a tone of voice. Harjo's tale of your hardscrabble children, young adulthood, and transformation into an award-winning poet and musician is haunting, unique, and visionary.
