Review: The Woman Who Fell from the Sky: Poems

User Review  - Destroydecay - Goodreads

There are some hidden gem lines buried within the poems. However the fact that Harjo goes through the trouble of adding context and explanations as additions to the poems annoyed me to no end. Why couldn't the poems stand alone and speak for themselves?
