| The aim of this thesis is to analyse the poetry of the Native American poet Joy Harjo as a source of power to commemorate and preserve what should not be forgotten – people and their stories, their struggles, the oppression they have gone through. The thesis focuses on the themes of memory and storytelling and how they manifest in the content and the formal features of Harjo’s poems from the 1980s and 1990s poetry collections She Had Some Horses, In Mad Love and War, The Woman Who Fell from the Sky, and A Map to the Next World. By revisiting old tales or imagining new ones, Harjo uses poetry to keep the memory of the past alive while bringing forward the stories of the contemporary lives of Native Americans, especially women. Memory and storytelling influence the formal features of Harjo’s poems as well, whether that means using elements of the oral tradition or, for example, writing prose poems. The analysis also considers the broader context of Native American attitudes towards the importance of memory and storytelling as means of survival and perseverance, which anticipate the striving of Harjo’s poetry. |
