Praise for Joy Harjo and Crazy Brave

Joy Harjo has always been able to see with more than her eyes. Her writing is a testament to this gift...Her hero's journey is a gift for all those struggling to make their way.
-- Sandra Cisneros

Joy Harjo is a giant-hearted, gorgeous, and glorious gift to the world. Her belief in art, in spirit, is so powerful, it can't help but spill over to us--lucky readers.
-- Pam Houston

Insightful...Crazy Brave brings one of our finest--and most complicated--poets into view...Raw and honest.
-- Jack Shakely, Los Angeles Review of Books

Harjo is a magician and a master of the English language...[S]he knows how to navigate the rough waters of silence, exile and cunning.
-- Jonah Raskin, San Francisco Chronicle

A...saga about the survival of spirituality and creativity in the face of generations of racism, dispossession, and familial dysfunction...[F]antastic, terrible, and beautiful.
-- Rebecca Steintz, Boston Globe

Harjo gives readers a glimpse into her own mythic life moments: waking dreams that result in some of her most evocative and important poems. Harjo's poetry, woven throughout, makes this memoir a must-read for her fans and a fascinating door into her world for those new to her work.
-- Elizabeth Wilkinson, Minneapolis Star Tribune
