It was basically a one-woman show (with funky musical accents added by the fabulous &#8211;&#0160;and fabulously sexy &#8212; guitarist Larry Williams) depicting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joyharjo.com\/Home.html\">Joy Harjo&#39;s<\/a> early life story. Harjo is&#0160;a pretty major poet of <a href=\"http:\/\/digital.library.okstate.edu\/encyclopedia\/entries\/C\/CR006.html\">Mvskoke Nation<\/a> descent. <\/p>\n<p>According to her story (which she said was loosely biographical), her father was an alcoholic who eventually left the family, her mother was a thwarted singer who clung to abusive husbands and&#0160;Harjo herself struggled through life on her own. <\/p>\n<p>The title of the play does the show no service; the story&#0160;is much more realistic and gritty than <em>Wings of Night Sky, Wings of Morning Light<\/em> implies and is more about the&#0160;identity and social struggles of a young native American growing up in the 60s and 70s with a harsh home life and a poetic soul. <\/p>\n<p>Harjo&#0160;<em>seamlessly<\/em> splices together musical moments with direct storytelling interlaced&#0160;with Native American parables. Every parable&#0160;works as&#0160;an effective punctuation to points she is making about&#0160;her struggles&#0160;to find meaning in heartache and feelings of abandonment. <\/p>\n<p>Line by line, sheer poetry. It was amazing to watch. At the end, Harjo&#0160;passed out gifts for audience members, a gesture of thank you for coming. I felt a pressure in my chest, realizing the show was over. Than I realized, that was my heart spinning!<\/p>\n<p>I was moved and inspired. Doesn\u2019t happen every day.<\/p>\n<p>I purchased Harjo&#39;s&#0160;poetry collection <em>The Woman Who Fell From the Sky<\/em>and on the back cover feminist-powerhouse-poet Adrienne Rich descirbes Harjo&#39;s writing as &quot;precise and unsentimental.&quot; And this was the power of her show. It was stunningly stark and the \u201cSpirit Helper,\u201d hollering, props&#0160;and&#0160;songs all&#0160;served to say something deeper about her main points, instead of ornament them in a stereotypically new-agey way.<\/p>\n<p>So about the Cher reference&#8230;Harjo describes an episode during her young adulthood, partying sometime during the 1970s outside with some cross-dressing Native Americans, which is an amazing image in itself. One &quot;Navajo drag queen&quot; is spangled out in a flamboyant dress and is drunkenly trying to celebrate the birthday of Cher. He eventually gets arrested and in avoiding arrest herself, Harjo meets the father of her children.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;m not yet&#0160;widely read on Harjo, but here is a poem from an anthology that I really loved, a poem that was also the title of one of her collections,&#0160;<em>She Had Some Horses<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.renaissanceindian.com\/Joy%20Harjo.asp\">http:\/\/www.renaissanceindian.com\/Joy%20Harjo.asp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The last lines seem both Zen-sounding and still Mvskoke philosophy.<\/p>\n<blockquote dir=\"ltr\" style=\"MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px\">\n<p><em>She had some horses she loved.<br \/>She had some horses she hated. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>These were the same horses<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You need to read the entire poem to feel its momentum and strength. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#39;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2009\/03\/12\/18576420.php\">another review of the show<\/a> which has left LA and is moving to other points across the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love literature&#8230;so you know I really love to&#0160;find Cher references in literature.
