Publisher's Synopsis
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, Ginsbergian Chicano-style Blake vision signaling a singular debut--Francisco Aragon.
