Old Shirts & New Skins by Sherman Alexie

stennyi's review

5.0

This is one of Alexie's earlier collections of poetry and it's significant to see that his voice was just as strong 20 years ago as it is today. Any fans of Alexie's short stories and fiction should take the time to read his poetry. There's added insight and perspective that bleeds over into his fiction.

Very powerful poetry about native American life on a reservation. I'm not sure where this came from, it's been bopping about my book shelves for years and I decided to skim through it before deciding to add it to the clearing out pile. I ended up immersed in the poems in this book, and surfaced an hour later at the end of the book.

I did decide to pass this on through the take a book/leave a book shelves at a local coffee shop, in hopes it would be picked up by someone else who would enjoy it as much as I did.
