Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-10 00:00:00 Gary Monette I love Alexie. Two of my favorite poems are in this collection: Capital Punishment and How to write the Great American Indian Novel, both of which I first read in an anthology years ago. Alexia's voice is clear, sarcastic and at times, satisfyingly condescending.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-23 00:00:00 Jean Mario Bernard I'm not always a big fan of poetry - much of it is too esoteric and "high-falutin'" for my tastes -- but I'm a big fan of Alexie's fiction. I really enjoyed this book of poems. It's written in "everyday" language, thus avoiding the making-it-hard-to-follow problem. Alexie writes about subjects that we can all relate to (love, fear, Bigfoot), but comes from his own unique perspective. The poems are organized into sections, each with a particular theme. But it's possible to read a little bit at a time, here & there, and still enjoy them.
