Description
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. "With sly humor and lyrical intensity, Manuel Paul Lopez brings us a debut collection that could make the iceworker sing. If there is a heaven, Andres Montoya is looking down and exclaiming, '¡Orale!'"—Daniel A. Olivas
"I think he's come through with a solid first book. And I think he's headed above and beyond."—Howard Junker
"DEATH OF A MEXICAN is a laboratory of language—a book of 'hummed hymns' that is, indeed, 'a Ginsbergian Chicano-style Blake vision,' signaling a singular debut."—Francisco Aragon
