Natalie Diaz: Meth, Mistakes & Mischievous Barbies
Diaz’s well-crafted verse and rich language evoke the familiar themes of death, deception, festivity and family. Her meth-head brother is brought up often in her poetry—especially in regards to how his addiction breaks down their parents. Both bit by bit and in giant, violent pieces.

The Finest Work Songs: Alan Lau and Susie Kozawa
On October 18th, Alan Lau and Susie Kozawa (longtime collaborators and working artists) will be revisiting a piece that they originally presented at the Seattle Art Museum in 1996. Lau’s part, initially a response to the Seattle Art Museum’s exhibit “In The American Grain,” will provide a reading poetry as well as words from four modernist American artists, while Kozawa will respond to Lau’s poetry as well as the space itself. Over e-mail, I asked the two to talk about their experiences with artistic collaboration, their experience with this piece, and with each other.
