“In the end, we must each tend to our own gulfs of sadness,” Joy Harjo writes in her inspiring, poetic, and deeply emotional memoir, Crazy Brave. Others can assist us, but we must find the path to self-knowledge ourselves, with art, poetry, memoir, music, and nature as our guides. In this discussion/workshop, we will look at the way Harjo weaves dreams, poems, and visions from her American Indian past into a narrative that reveals both the incredible sadness and the powerful beauty of her life. After discussing what makes Harjo’s poetry as well as her memoir so remarkable, participants will free-write on a childhood memory and then will experiment with adding poetry, dreams, song lyrics, etc. in order to enrich their memoir.
