de la Paz has book of poetry published

Oliver de la Paz, an associate professor of English at Western Washington University, has had his new book of poetry, "," published by University of Akron Press.

From the book's official description:

"Ecstatic and obsessive, the prose poems that make up Oliver de la Paz's 'Post Subject: A Fable' reveal the monuments of a lost country. Through a series of epistles addressed to 'Empire' a catalog emerges, where what can be tallied is noted in a ledger, what can be claimed is demarcated, and what has been reaped is elided. The task of deposing the late century is taken up. What's salvaged from the remains is humanity."
