Indigenous Poetry Workshop Featuring An Evening with Joy Harjo

Aug 17 – 19 2025

This workshop focuses on Indigenous poetry beginning with a reception and book signing with Joy Harjo on the evening of arrival. The following day will include readings/talks with Dg Okpik. In the afternoon, a curated selection of six poets from IAIA will present readings for a half hour each. That evening, Ghost Ranch is delighted to welcome Joy Harjo for an evening of poetry, stories and history about the land, ancestors and poets of this Native land.

The following morning, Sherwin Bitsui will close out the program with the final reading.

Joy Harjo is a poet, author, activist, professor, musician, and the first Native American to hold the honor of US Poet Laureate. Please join us as she weaves her poems and tells stories of resilience spanning her life and career, from her beginnings in Oklahoma to her time as US Poet Laureate, and shares her work as a scholar and advocate for Native poets and their place/land.
