Chicago Humanities Festival: Joy Harjo - Living Nations, Living Words

Join us for a reading with US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo and award-winning poet Layli Long Soldier for a conversation about the cadence, topography, and lineage of poetry. Poetry and heritage are alive and intertwined in Harjo’s signature project as America’s first Native Poet Laureate; Living Nations, Living Words is an interactive map and accompanying anthology of Native Nations poets and poems from across the country, speaking to themes of displacement, visibility, persistence, resistance, and acknowledgment.

Presented in partnership with Chicago Humanities Festival and the Native American Support Program at UIC
