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
