In Postcolonial Love Poem, Diaz creates an anthem of desire against erasure. Through her mesmerizing verses, she demands that every body within these pages be touched and held as beloveds. In this lyrical landscape, the wounds inflicted by America onto indigenous people are transformed into blooming pleasure and tenderness. As Diaz beautifully writes, "Let me call my anxiety, desire, then. Let me call it, a garden." Prepare to be moved as she explores the depths of love, suffering, and the resilience of the human spirit.

What makes this collection truly unique is its representation of diversity. Diaz celebrates the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black, and brown women, acknowledging their significance in both the political and ecstatic realms. By reclaiming autonomy and desire, Diaz pushes language to its boundaries, uncovering the astonishing landscapes where pleasure and love intersect with grief and joy, violence and sensuality.

Diaz's work transcends the constraints imposed upon her by a nation whose very foundation sought to diminish and erase bodies like hers. She resists becoming a museum of herself and instead breathes life into her words. She implores, "Let me be lonely but not invisible." With Postcolonial Love Poem, she challenges notions of American goodness and offers a powerful testament to the choices we make in creating a better future.
