Oliver de la Paz’s Requiem for the Orchard is a love letter to memory and its ability to both sustain and shatter us beyond the “dust of ourselves,/ cold, decisive, and purely from the earth.” de la Paz renders in beautiful and exacting language the tenderness and ferocity of boyhood, alongside the enduring vulnerability of parenthood.  Out of such intimate recollection a generous wisdom blossoms.

A Face to Meet the Faces is Here!

DateFriday, February 3, 2012 at 11:24AM

 

Stacey kept texting me yesterday with updates. She was tracking the package from the University of Akron. When I got home after picking up the kids from daycare, I saw the box outside our front door. Yay!


Stacey and I tried to open the boxes simultaneously via Skype, but I couldn't get the damn thing to work due to my poor ISP. Anyway, I snapped a couple of photos today.
