Natalie Diaz's Postcolonial Love Poem is a stunning poetry collection that interweaves Indigenous identity, desire, and the ongoing violence of colonialism. Through poems that are both tender and fierce, Diaz explores love as resistance, examining how personal intimacy exists within larger histories of dispossession and survival. The collection becomes a radical assertion that Indigenous people's capacity for joy, desire, and connection cannot be erased by colonial violence.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Diaz refuses to separate love from politics, desire from history. These poems remind us that claiming the right to love freely, to desire openly, is itself an act of decolonization. It's poetry that insists Indigenous people are fully human, fully alive, fully here.
