Nature Poem by Tommy Pico

Doesn’t feel right to rate this one, but it’s very good. Some of the style wasn’t for me, but this extended poem isn’t for me anyway, it’s practically a summary of a problematic discourse about nature and how it’s most often a colonial construct. Not to mention that language and how so many Indigenous languages are dying or have already died out and how English is not and never has been a neutral language.

Brilliant. But also sad and enraging. Anyway, that’s why I don’t want to rate it. But maybe I’ll change my mind later and give it five stars just to bump it up the algorithm. Ugh. So tired of thinking actively about algorithms.
