Description

Sherwin Bitsui's Shapeshift is a powerful collection of poetry that explores the tensions between nature and modern civilization. Drawing on urban and Navajo perspectives, Bitsui articulates the challenge of reconciling inherited history with the coldness of postmodern life. Through brief, imagistic poems and evocative longer narratives, Bitsui offers striking perceptions of American culture and politics, revealing their lack of spiritual grounding. The book is characterized by its interweaving images, which speak to the rich diversity of contemporary DinŽ writing. With complexities of tone that shift between disconnectedness and wholeness, irony and sincerity, Shapeshift teases the mind and stirs the imagination.
