Citation<\/em><\/p>\n

\"twerk\"<\/a>LaTasha Nevada Diggs is the erudite daredevil poet, provoking the body to move as she moves the mind, allowing us, through her soundscapes and hybrid canvases, the privilege of hearing the solar system spin. In her exuberant and expansive collection TwERK<\/em>, we are never far from the lustrous melting point of language. She shifts between English and any number of languages and vernaculars\u2014Tagalog, Japanese, Cherokee, or Quechua\u2014allowing a reader to consider the ways in which identity may be formed in a world still reckoning with legacies of colonialism and forced migration. In this heteroglot echo chamber a wide range of idioms\u2014and their attendant forms of consciousness, of politics\u2014collide and recombine. Humor, pathos, seduction, and violence are all in play.<\/p>\n
