About the Author

Latasha N. Nevada Diggs is a dynamic poet, performer, and interdisciplinary artist whose work bridges the worlds of language, movement, and cultural identity. Drawing from her experiences as a Black queer woman navigating urban landscapes, Diggs crafts verses that pulse with rhythm and resilience, often incorporating multilingual elements and experimental forms to challenge conventional storytelling. Her debut collection, TwERK, exemplifies this innovative spirit, blending hip-hop cadences with literary finesse to explore themes of embodiment, migration, and erotic agency. A recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and Cave Canem, Diggs has performed at venues worldwide, from the Whitney Museum to international festivals, solidifying her reputation as a vital voice in contemporary American letters. Her writing invites readers to dance with words, celebrating the intersections of race, sexuality, and diaspora.
