Brown University’s John Hay Library acquires former U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo’s papers
Harjo’s writing drafts, correspondence, scripts and teaching materials will significantly enhance the University’s scholarly resources from Native and Indigenous writers and performers.
"Harjo’s papers join those of the groundbreaking Spiderwoman Theater, adding to a growing wealth of primary source material at Brown for researchers and students to explore Native American and Indigenous scholarship, writing, performance and activism."
