Moonstone Arts Center has issued an open call for a tribute to Joy Harjo, the 23rd United States Poet Laureate and the first Native American to hold that office. Harjo, a citizen of the Muscogee Nation and a seventh-generation Monahwee daughter, is a central figure in the second wave of the Native American literary renaissance. The tribute coincides with her 75th birthday and will be anchored by a virtual event on October 25, 2026. The call is deliberately narrow: one poem per submission, written in response to Harjo's life and work. There is no prize and no publication guarantee; the reward is participation in a collective act of literary attention. The $5 fee is modest and standard for a small press or arts center operating at this scale. Moonstone's history of community-rooted programming suggests the selected poems will be presented in a reading format rather than a print anthology, though the guidelines do not specify further. What distinguishes this opportunity is its focus. It is not a general open call but a directed homage, and it asks poets to engage with a specific body of work—Harjo's poetry, music, and activism—rather than submit in isolation. The curatorial vision is one of reverence and dialogue: poets are invited to write into Harjo's legacy, not merely about it. The virtual event on October 25, 2026, will likely feature readings of selected poems, creating a temporary community around a shared subject.
