About the Author

DAVE OLIPHANT is a lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin, where he teaches English and has edited a scholarly journal. He has written extensively on music, including his historical study Texan Jazz in 1996, and has published several volumes of his own poetry as well as translations of Latin American poetry.

Reviews

Oliphant's new book-length poem...is an attempt, in Texas terms, to recreate a work along the lines of William Carlos Williams' Paterson, that is, a poem that relates the history of a place from the ground up from origins to now.... Serious readers of serious poetry will find this book worth their attention. They will rediscover too, as I did, the seminal importance of Stephen F. Austin in the visionary history of the state.

--Don Graham, Dallas Times Herald
