Village - LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs - Bog

A vitally important poetic intervention on the intersecting experiences of race, class, gender, colonialism, disability, and more.
LaTasha is an incredible artist, whose art making comes out in everything she does. The poems are tonally golden, rigorous in form and execution, playful, inventive, and experimental, and each is a work of art.
LaTasha says that tonally, this collection rides on silence and dark humor. She says she is "striving for the deeper difference-there's a slow process of getting into the cracks and discovering the parallels of past and present, [and part of that is] exploring language experiments [including Cherokee], and what ends language serves."
For readers of Claudia Rankine, Douglas Kearney, Tyehimba Jess, and Harryette Mullen.
