WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRYPostcolonial Love Poem is a thunderous river of a book. It demands that every body carried in its pages — bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers — be touched and held. Where 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 dune fields and forests where pleasure and love are both grief and joy, violence and sensuality. Diaz defies the conditions from which she writes, a nation whose creation predicated the diminishment and ultimate erasure of bodies like hers and the people she loves. Her poetry questions what kind of future we might create, built from the choices we make now.
