Sherman Alexie, a Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Indian, writes exuberant tales of contemporary American Indian life that reshape common stereotypes from race relations and homophobia to war and morality. A best-selling novelist (Flight), and screenwriter (Smoke Signals), Alexie is the first poet to win four consecutive titles at the World Heavyweight Championship Poetry Bout at the Taos Poetry Circus. The gifted orator blends artful narrative and razor-sharp wit to offer an enlightening look at life's pitfalls and possibilities.
