What is the author's style in Bidwell Ghost by Louise Erdrich?

"Bidwell Ghost" is written in eight short free verse stanzas, each usually three lines long. Unlike traditional verse, where each line is determined by a set number of accents or metric feet, the line lengths in this poem vary widely, ranging anywhere from four to sixteen words each. In free verse, the form of the poem grows from the poem's changing moods and subject matter—in this case, the poet chooses short, individual stanzas to organize her images.
