In 1992, Hanging Loose Press introduced the poetry of Sherman Alexie. His first collection, The Business of Fancydancing, was selected as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. “Mr. Alexie’s is one of the major lyric voices of our time,” wrote reviewer James R. Kincaid. Since then, Alexie’s poems, stories and novels have brought him many honors and an international following of readers. A Spokane/Coeur d’Alene Indian, now living in Seattle, Alexie covers a territory that starts with the minute details of reservation life and reaches out to encompass the world in all its variety. The Summer of Black Widows presents poetry which shows Mr. Alexie’s work continues to grow in power, complexity and vision.
