I had not read Alexie's poetry, and was curious, so borrowed a copy from the public library. I loved it, so much that I purchased a copy for my best friend, and will likely send copies as Christmas presents. Alexie has a unique approach to crafting his poems, and as poetry should, they touch the heart, they provide a chuckle, they reflect the humanity of us all.

I am one of the Alexie fans and this did not disappoint me! It is filled with the humor, cleverness, and Alexie-vulgarisms that one comes to expect from this Spokane. I had intended to use it as a supplemental classroom text but decided to specially choose the selections that I wanted to use due to the maturity of content and the "too-controversial-for-the-South" vulgarity.

I have read this out loud to my great nephew (12) and he loves the book. He takes it with him for reading, and then we talk and laugh about the lines. Sherman Alexi is always a treat. I wait for each new set of writings by Sherman Alexi.

Early Sherman Alexie is very strong. Start with his earliest work, such as this title and work around it a bit. His recent stuff is a bit stiff and stilted; the early stuff is far from it.

I have appreciated Sherman Alexie's novels and short stories for some time, and have just recently discovered his powerful poetry.Thank you

Love Alexie! The few poems I read the day I got it made my day. Such wit and humor. Can't wait to read the rest!

Arrived on time and in excellent condition. Alexie is one of my top three favorite authors. Liked the book, as I do all of Alexie's works.

Fantastic book! Alexie is a great writer with a sharp sense of humor.

This is wonderful. I'm more used to the likes of Ortiz but even with Alexie's grander forms, there is openness and an accessibility to his beliefs or lack of them. My first of his, I'll be buying more, personal favourite still Nila Northsun, though.
