"It is [Louis's] singular character and talent to accord no slack in his account of the complex destiny of Native Americas, white America's genocidal disenfranchisement of them, and his own frank self-portraits. . . . Brutally honest, yes, but also beautifully aglow with love of language." —James Tate
"Pay attention to Adrian Louis. He is truly a voice in the wilderness. Prophetic, terrifyingly intelligent, unconditionally germane. Anyone who overlooks him does so in peril." —Hayden Carruth
