What is the author's style in the short story collection, War Dances? .

Sherman Alexie’s stories and poems in War Dances reflect language that is poetic but simple. This is because Alexie is not only a poet, but that he has included poetry throughout the collection as well as stories. The simplicity of the language reflects the love and beauty that American Indians find in the simplicity of nature and life. Alexie is himself a Native American, and most of his characters are also Native Americans.
