Though we are all made of the same questions, we have individual routes to the answers, or to reframing the questions. Why is there evil in the world? Why do people suffer, and some more than others? Why are we here? What are we doing here? What happens after death? Does anything mean anything at all? Who am I and what does it matter?\" writes Joy Harjo, renowned poet and activist, in this profound work about the struggles, challenges, and joys of coming of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her best-selling memoir \u003cem\u003ePoet Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e, Harjo led readers through her lifelong process of artistic evolution. In \u003cem\u003eGirl Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e, she speaks directly to Native girls and women, sharing stories about her own coming of age to bring renewed attention to the pivotal moments of becoming including forgiveness, failure, falling, rising up, and honoring our vast family of beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInformed by her own experiences and those of her ancestors, Harjo offers inspiration and insight for navigating the many challenges of maturation. She grapples with parents, friendships, love, and loss. She guides young readers toward painting, poetry, and music as powerful tools for developing their own ethical sensibility. As Harjo demonstrates, the act of making is an essential part of who we are, a means of inviting the past into the present and a critical tool young women can use to shape a more just future. Lyrical and compassionate, Harjo's call for creativity and empathy is an urgent and necessary work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePraise for \u003cem\u003ePoet Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Joy Harjo is more than a poet, painter, and musician; she is a spiritual being aware of the meaning of everything we see as well as the things around us that are usually invisible.
