Library to Celebrate Joy Harjo's Three Terms as U.S. Poet LaureateThe Library of Congress will celebrate Joy Harjo, the first Native American U.S. poet laureate, as her three terms in the position come to a conclusion with two public programs at the end of April. "For a remarkable three terms as U.S. poet laureate, Joy Harjo has tirelessly promoted Native poets and poetry," said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. "To her, poems are 'carriers of dreams, knowledge and wisdom,' and she has been an insightful voice during the difficulties of a pandemic. We are eager to welcome her back to the Library to celebrate her tenure as poet laureate and to host the In-Na-Po retreat on her behalf." Click here for more information.
