If I wasn't writing poems I'd be washing my hands all the time.
Sherman Alexie
All I try to do is portray Indians as we are, in creative ways. With imagination and poetry. I think a lot of Native American literature is stuck in one idea: sort of spiritual, environmentalist Indians. And I want to portray everyday lives.
