Summary
The creator of Twiniversity.com delivers the ultimate survival guide for parents of twins. There's no doubt that having twins is challenging. First, there's the pregnancy. But after the twins arrive, the real work begins: coordinating sleep schedules, feeding two babies at the same time, buying five hundred diapers a month while saving enough to send two kids to college in 18 years, and maintaining your own sanity throughout. But it's also incredibly rewarding - if you're well prepared! In What to Do When You're Having Two, national twins guru and founder of Twiniversity - and mother of twins herself! - Natalie Diaz provides a no-holds-barred resource about life with twins, from pregnancy and birth all the way through your duo's first year of life. Funny, reassuring, and full of stories and advice, this life-saving book covers making a birth plan checklist; overcoming the challenges of premature delivery and the neonatal intensive care unit; sticking to one sleep schedule; double-duty breastfeeding; must-have gear, including a guide to double strollers; keeping your sanity and your finances under control; and building one-on-one relationships with each child early. Packed with tried-and-true tips from the trenches, this is the must-have survival guide for parents of twins.

Postcolonial Love Poem
Summary
Postcolonial Love Poem, the brilliant second collection from Natalie Diaz, holds in its poems the urgent appeal for all bodies ? bodies of lovers, family, enemies, as well as of language and rivers and land ? to be held dearly. In her lyrical landscape, Diaz tenderly prods the wounds inflicted by America onto its Indigenous peoples. When she states, “Let me call my anxiety, desire, then. / Let me call it, a garden,” Diaz allows for the sensation of pleasure to be found in pain; in asserting the autonomy found within desire, the poet simultaneously enables the bodies of Indigenous, Latinx, black, and brown women to be both political and euphoric; and by forcing language to its limits, place is imbued with joy and grief, sensuality and destruction. In this collection, Natalie Diaz opens up and confronts the conditions from which she writes, embracing bodies like hers and those she loves which have been diminished and erased. As Postcolonial Love Poem offers a picture of an America built on hope and the agency of our future choices, it is love Natalie Diaz offers most tenderly in her hands.
