Joy Harjo 2nd term as poet laureate
Joy Harjo Gets A Second Term As U.S. Poet Laureate
If the name of this year’s U.S. Poet Laureate sounds familiar, that could be because Joy Harjo was also last year’s pick for the job. In a statement announcing the reappointment, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden called Harjo “an inspiring and engaging poet laureate,” who would “help the Library showcase Native poets from coast-to-coast.”
