Book Reviews of First Indian on the Moon
Book Review: A powerful introduction to Sherman Alexie...
Summary: 5 Stars
First Indian on the Moon is a great introduction to the poetry of Sherman Alexie. Originally published in 1993, Alexie challenges boundaries of race, identity, and issues with substance abuse, through beautifully detailed and brilliantly delivered streams of literary consciousness. I feel the haunting connection between his life in Wellpenit, Washington, as an enrolled member of the Spokane/Couer d'Alene tribes, as well as the struggle to find place and sense of self in the urban world.
The passages evoke in me feelings of heartbreak, justified anger and great catharsis. This book is great medicine, for me, at a time when things are not right with the world, and many are searching just to be heard. Thank you, Sherman Alexie, for naming the pain and giving a voice to people who do not always have enough words to speak up, or have had the words drummed out of them by highly oppressive circumstances. So powerful.
