Hymne à l'amour, ode au désir, chant de libération, Poème d'amour postcolonial dessine une nouvelle mythologie américaine. Dans ce labyrinthe poétique dont Natalie Diaz est le Minotaure, les terrains de basket se transforment en églises, les rivières échangent des lettres d'amour et les femmes débordent de miel. Une odyssée lyrique et charnelle, qui célèbre les corps meurtris par l'Amérique - corps de femmes, corps indigènes, corps queer et marginalisés - et fait jaillir la lumière. Voix incontournable du paysage poétique contemporain, héritière de Joy Harjo et Louise Erdrich, Natalie Diaz s'élève contre la disparition des peuples natifs et leur relégation aux marges de l'Histoire.

WINNER OF THE 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRY SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST COLLECTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZE POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATION Postcolonial Love Poem is a thunderous river of a book, an anthem of desire against erasure. It demands that every body carried in its pages - bodies of language, land, suffering brothers, enemies and lovers - be touched and held. Here, the bodies of indigenous, Latinx, black and brown women are simultaneously the body politic and the body ecstatic, and portrayed with a glowing intimacy: the alphabet of a hand in the dark, the hips'' silvered percussion, a thigh''s red-gold geometry, the emerald tigers that leap in a throat. 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. Natalie 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 - how we might learn our own cures and ''go where there is love''.
