"lunduzinho is tatiana nascimento’s living testament, demiurgic engine, and praise poem to the boundless possibilities inherent in a queer Afro-Brazilian poetical philosophy. Her revelatory linguistic artistry travels through Natália Affonso’s potent translation into English as ecocentric technology for renewed, renewing, renewable ways of being. In defiance of a rigid colonial blueprint, nascimento splits, remixes, and reforges words not to discover but reclaim epistemological lineages released from capitalist temporalities into a fluid, circular time that encompasses a wider natural world of shared knowledge and futurity. Affonso brings a detailed, sensitive, and rebellious English as portal for nascimento’s unified sexual, spiritual and intellectual vision of literary activism. The lines throb, dance and pulse with a unique vitality rarely captured. Avoiding an anthropological transparency, her translation conveys transnational realities inherent in the work without sacrificing the truth of who nascimento is and where she exists on the page."

"nascimento's provocative Afro-futurist poems demand to be read out loud, felt in the body in their own terms, like the lundu dance from the title. In Natália Affonso's brilliantly inventive translations, they sing in multiple languages and dialects, from Black Portuguese and Cuíer lingos to Spanish and English, to form a language all their own. A stunning chapbook to cherish and reread."
