Writing in the Dark with Jeannine Ouellette

Sherman Alexie

poems, short fiction, essays, opinion, audio, video

Sherman Alexie was always held up as an example of a great writer as I was earning my degree in creative writing at University of Washington. I admit there is a sense of awe for me that he and I are both on Substack. And his writing is just as good now as it was then.
