Today, I will be doing a review and analysis of "Post-Colonial Love Poem" by Natalie Diaz. This won the Pulitzer Prize in poetry for 2020! First of all, Natalie Diaz is a very nice human being, and one of the more pleasurable authors I've had the chance to meet.

BookTube tags help me connect with my favorite NPC who helps me be a better NPC who share no real value with the world...
The knowledge in books can change the world. However, social media, TV shows, and video games are smoking books in terms of popularity. Those mediums have a cap on how much they can change the world. We need anyone and everyone we can to create long-form content about books.

This is one of my favorite books, and I wanted to kick off this new series with a fun one! Gender power dynamics, healing trauma through love, and liberation without existing in the common gender binary are some themes we explore today!
The infinite amount of insane options for this series is making me super excited! "Call of the Wild" time-loop? Smut "In Search of Lost Time??" The options are so funny ?
