Reviews
"Bitsui's poetry is elegant, probative and original. His vision connects worlds." --New Mexico Magazine "What is exciting about Shapeshift is the fresh voice and perspective it introduces to Native American and Navajo literature. The times and attitudes have changed, and Shapeshift does not ignore this fact. . . . A must-read for anyone interested in discovering a new Native American author." --Navajo Times "His images can tilt on the side of surrealism, yet his work can be compellingly accessible." --Arizona Daily Star

Synopsis
Sherwin Bitsui is a young Diné Navajo poet drawing on traditional song, storytelling, and surrealistic poetics., Sherwin Bitsui is a young Din Navajo poet drawing on traditional song, storytelling, and surrealistic poetics., Sherwin Bitsui is a young Dinéeacute; Navajo poet drawing on traditional song, storytelling, and surrealistic poetics., "Sherwin Bitsui's new poetry collection, Flood Song-- a sprawling, panoramic journey through landscape, time, and cultures--is well worth the ride."-- Poets & Writers "Bitsui's poetry is elegant, probative, and original. His vision connects worlds."-- New Mexico Magazine "His images can tilt on the side of surrealism, yet his work can be compellingly accessible."-- Arizona Daily Star " Sherwin Bitsui sees violent beauty in the American landscape. There are junipers, black ants, axes, and cities dragging their bridges. I can hear Whitman's drums in these poems and I can see Ginsberg's supermarkets. But above all else, there is an indigenous eccentricity, 'a cornfield at the bottom of a sandstone canyon,' that you will not find anywhere else."-- Sherman Alexie Native traditions scrape against contemporary urban life in Flood Song , an interweaving painterly sequence populated with wrens and reeds, bricks and gasoline. Poet Sherwin Bitsui is at the forefront of a new generation of Native writers who resist being identified solely by race. At the same time, he comes from a traditional indigenous family and Flood Song is filled with allusions to Dine (Navajo) myths, customs, and traditions. Highly imagistic and constantly in motion, his poems draw variously upon medicine song and contemporary language and poetics. "I map a shrinking map," he writes, and "bite my eyes shut between these songs." An astonishing, elemental volume. I retrace and trace over my fingerprints Here: magma, there: shore, and on the peninsula of his finger pointing west-- a bell rope woven from optic nerves is tethered to mustangs galloping from a nation lifting its first page through the man hole--burn marks in the saddle horn, static in the ear that cannot sever cries from wailing. Sherwin Bitsui 's acclaimed first book of poems, Shapeshift , appeared in 2003. He has earned many honors for his work, including fellowships from the Witter Bynner Foundation and Lannan Foundation, and he is frequently invited to poetry festivals throughout the world. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.
