In Cloud Runner, Joy Harjo reckons with the unspeakable pain of losing her daughter: “Reason has no home in this hour,” she writes. Despite a devasting loss, Harjo constructs a shrine to human resilience, reminding us that the most profound revelations can appear in our darkest hours: “I now know why we construct ceremonial epics of mystery and beauty, \/ Of enemy and failure: it is so we can pick up our burdens \/ And go on.”\nHarjo’s magical poems are known for weaving myth, song, and spirit. In this searing volume, her poems become essential witnesses to history, especially in our current era of compounded loss: mass shootings, missing and murdered Native women, climate disaster, and political violence. Cloud Runner explores how all grief may be connected; it is a testament to poetry’s power to speak what is unspeakable, to touch what the mind cannot carry.\n\nFrom Cloud Runner:\n\n“I am Cloud Runner, you whispered, as I rinsed dishes and looked\nout the window, the sun flaring dusky gold through our story. I\ndried my hands and went outside to read the clouds.\n\nRemember me in my children and their children, you sang.\nRemember me in poetry.\nRemember me when it rains, when the plants rise up in\ngreen to drink.\nRemember me in butterflies.\n\nAnd then, you were gone.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50522464845993,"sku":"PHBK-9781324123651","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/11920903482659.jpg?v=1791312820","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/cloud-runner-poems","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
