In Cloud Runner, Joy Harjo reckons with the unspeakable pain of losing her daughter: “Reason has no home in this hour.” Despite this devastation, 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 our burdens \/ And go on.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarjo’s magical poems are known for weaving myth, song, and spirit. In this searing volume, they 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paperbacks \u0026 Frybread Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46768096411820,"sku":"9781324123651","price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/5985\/1948\/files\/9781324123651.jpg?v=1783961832","url":"https:\/\/paperbacksandfrybread.com\/en-ca\/products\/cloud-runner-poems-by-joy-harjo","provider":"Paperbacks \u0026 Frybread Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
