Notes From Your Bookseller

From verse that is as sharp as a knife to vivid and sensual imagery, Diaz uses words like a paint brush. Her work moves from vivid retellings of childhood and family experiences to the more intimate moments in life. Issues of society and culture bump against the personal as Diaz moves effortlessly between the two worlds. And, there’s a sly sense of humor slipped in there, just to keep you on your toes.
