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.”

Happy birthday to Turtle Island Radio show

Happy birthday to Turtle Island Radio show

And so yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of the Turtle Island Radio Show 😎
In that time I’ve made 80 shows, I’ve played 588 artists and 1174 tracks and had around 2500 plays on mixcloud.
I’ve played music from the 1920s up to the present day all made by indigenous Turtle Islanders and their accomplices .
A big shout to all the artists for the amazing music they have produced over the years, the radio stations who played the show and to all who have helped and encouraged me. Too many to mention here but you know who you are.
And so on with the next chapter, really exciting news coming soon!
