Harjo has been named the country’s next poet laureate, becoming the first Native American to hold that position. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced Harjo’s appointment, saying in a statement Wednesday, June 19 that the poet helped tell an American story of continuity and disruption, “reckoning and myth-making.” Harjo’s one-year term begins this fall. She succeeds Tracy K. Smith, who served two terms. (Shawn Miller/Library of Congress)
