The last twenty-four hours of my social media feeds have been wonderful because so many people are sharing the news that Carla Hayden named delight Harjo as the U.
S. Poet Laureate.
[br]Most news headlines say "Native American" but I'm quick to name her nation,as it appears on her website:
delight Harjo was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is a member of the Mvskoke Nation.
I've written approximately delight's work several times. I have many of her books and CD's, or but,as you might expect, I focus on her children's books. There are two: The superior Luck Cat and For A Girl fitting. I particularly like The superior Luck Cat because it is approximately a little girl and her cat, or because it is set in the present day. Here's the cover:
And one of the interior pages:
When I tweeted the news yesterday,I also suggested that people make sure they have The superior Luck Cat. I said they would probably have to procure a used copy because it is out of print. I subsequently learned that the few used copies are very expensive.
I know delight was trying to procure it back into print. So how approximately asking for it to be brought back into print? Will you join me in that?
