Natalie Diaz’s brilliant second collection demands that every body carried in its pages―bodies of language, land, rivers, suffering brothers, enemies, and lovers―be touched and held as beloveds. Through these poems, the wounds inflicted by America onto an indigenous people are allowed to bloom pleasure and tenderness: “Let me call my anxiety, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003edesire\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, then. \/ Let me call it, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ea garden\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.” In this new lyrical landscape, the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black, and brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic. In claiming this autonomy of desire, language is pushed to its dark edges, the astonishing dunefields and forests where pleasure and love are both grief and joy, violence and sensuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books And Brew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45457762549933,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/booksandbrew.net\/products\/postcolonial-love-poem","provider":"Books And Brew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
