Natalie Diaz: Any Wound Can Bloom

‘Writing is kind of a way for me to explore why I want things and why I’m afraid of things and why I worry about things.’ Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Natalie Diaz is the author of Post Colonial Love Poem and When My Brother Was an Aztec, and this year was a judge on the International Booker Prize. Diaz is Mojave and an enrolled member of the Gila River Indian Community; she’s directed a language revitalisation program with the last speakers of Mojave. She speaks with Iona Lee today about how sharing words helps us remember and imagine.
