In \u003cem\u003eCloud Runner\u003c\/em\u003e, Joy Harjo reckons with the unspeakable pain of losing her daughter: \"Reason has no home in this hour,\" she writes. Despite a devasting loss, Harjo constructs a shrine to human resilience, reminding us that the most profound revelations can appear in our darkest hours: \"I now know why we construct ceremonial epics of mystery and beauty, \/ Of enemy and failure: it is so we can pick up our burdens \/ And go on.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarjo's magical poems are known for weaving myth, song, and spirit. In this searing volume, her poems become essential witnesses to history, especially in our current era of compounded loss: mass shootings, missing and murdered Native women, climate disaster, and political violence. \u003cem\u003eCloud Runner\u003c\/em\u003e explores how all grief may be connected; it is a testament to poetry's power to speak what is unspeakable, to touch what the mind cannot carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Cloud Runner: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I am Cloud Runner, you whispered, as I rinsed dishes and looked\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eout the window, the sun flaring dusky gold through our story.
