**Over a quarter-century's work from the 2003 winner of the Arrell Gibson Award for Lifetime Achievement.**
This collection gathers poems from throughout Joy Harjo's twenty-eight-year career, beginning in 1973 in the age marked by the takeover at Wounded Knee and the rejuvenation of indigenous cultures in the world through poetry and music. *How We Became Human* explores its title question in poems of sustaining grace.
