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, "Post Subject: A Fable," 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."
