Joy Harjo is one of my poet heroines. I can relate to her on many levels and her poetry is stunning! Thank you for sharing this piece. And I’m glad you turned on comments again! Prompted me to do something I’ve been wanting to for a while x

It really is! I didn't have time to include an example of her beautiful work since my family has been working through the ramifications of a hurricane but I'm grateful you enjoyed the piece!

And thank you SO MUCH for becoming a patron! I accidentally had comments for paid only 😭

I'm getting my mug, too! I hope your family is ok.

Jamal, this is terrific. Love the mug. Had to buy one, of course. So proud to be your Substack Auntie from the beginning and always. You encourage me too - it always goes both ways. Thanks for the lovely call-out. Much love, xoxo ❤️💕🥰🫶
