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, \u003cem\u003edesire\u003c\/em\u003e, then. \/ Let me call it, \u003cem\u003ea garden\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalie Diaz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644450147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021 Stonewall Book Award Honor Book - Literature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2021 Pulitzer Prize Winner - Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e 2020 National Book Awards Finalist - Poetry","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44151127867437,"sku":"9781644450147","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_8c039afb-d327-41cb-a485-9913139224ff.jpg?v=1757343114","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/postcolonial-love-poem-9781644450147","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
