A map to the next world by Joy Harjo for Desiray Kierra Chee

Joy Harjo, is an American poet, musician, playwright, author, and the incumbent United States Poet Laureate. Her poetry contains the wisdom of a sage and the intensity of a rebel. Against the capitalistic sky, she paints the myriad colors of nature, and takes us beyond that artificial sky, into the human essence. This particular piece is a powerful statement, reminding us to keep track and forge a conscious path for ourselves as we live and love though this life.
