Writers at Rutgers Series featuring Natalie Diaz

On Wednesday, November 19, Writers at Rutgers, cosponsored by the Zimmerli  Art Museum, will host the award-winning poet, Natalie Diaz. Her visit is in conjunction with the Zimmerli's current exhibition "Indigenous Identities: Here,  Now, and Always," and the reading will be held at the museum. Diaz is the author of Postcolonial Love Poem, which won the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry and was a finalist for the National Book Award and the LA Times Book Prize, and When My Brother Was an Aztec, which won an American Book Award. Her numerous awards include fellowships from the Lannan Literary Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation. In addition to her poetry, Diaz's work includes documenting Native and Indigenous languages. Rutgers students, faculty, and staff are also invited to attend a Q&A at 4 p.m. with the author in Murray Hall, room 302 (third floor).
