A review by ariel937
Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Díaz
"America is Maps -- / Maps are ghosts: white and / layered with people and places I see through"
"I can’t tell you anything new about the river-- / you can’t tell a river to itself”
i read this for school, so i wished i'd slowed down and taken the time to really appreciate all of the poems. but the writing was what really stood out to me--the way that Diaz is able to paint such vivid scenes with her words was simply spectacular. i definitely want to revisit this collection in the future
“Let me tell you a story about water: / Once upon a time there was us. / America’s thirst tried to drink us away. / And here we still are.”
"I can’t tell you anything new about the river-- / you can’t tell a river to itself”
