I have read her books going way back, both those of her own writing as well as her anthologies. Her light has been flashing forth from the Great Smoky Mountains for decades, enlightening, encouraging, and guiding other human beings via her luminous and powerful words. It says a lot about her that she has poured immense energy into editing anthologies of other Native writers’ work, getting out the voices of those who come out of centuries of brutal silencing. MariJo Moore sets an example of what it means to live as a writer of longstanding integrity, vision, wisdom, and generosity, and this essay is one that I especially wish every younger writer could read.
