Inscribed copy of She Had Some Horses by Joy Harjo in Walsh Library<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Did you know that Seton Hall’s rare book collection contains poetry by Native American authors?\u00a0 There is an inscribed copy of one of the early books of the first Native American Poet Laureate of the United States, Joy Harjo, in Walsh Library’s Rare Book collection.\u00a0 The inscription reads “for Penny and Bill, in strength and in beauty.”\u00a0 This refers to William Higginson and his wife, who founded From Here Press in Patterson, New Jersey.\u00a0 Higginson, a specialist in haiku, donated his incredible collection of poetry books <\/a>to Seton Hall in 2013.<\/p>\n

An alto saxophonist and artist as well as poet, Harjo breaks boundaries in many aspects of her work.\u00a0 Influenced by jazz and blues as well as by her Cree heritage and poetic predecessors such as Audre Lorde, Harjo’s poetry reflects on loss, survival, and the limitations of language itself.<\/p>\n
