This timely yet elemental collection unfolds where the exigencies and distractions of daily life brush up against the political, the ethical, and the existential. Publishers WeeklyOlstein here meditates on a world gone awry, limning in precise, beautifully modulated language both personal dislocation and the slings and arrows visited upon the community at large. Library Journal>Brilliant and provocative. The Literary ReviewIn Late Empire,the poet throws herself into a disturbing discussion about 21stcentury realities, pinpointing, questioning, and exhorting. Its a riveting picture of the micro, daytoday busyness against the macro, overshadowing struggle of existential survival. Rain Taxi>In her fourth booka gorgeous calltoarms in the face of our current social and political conditionsLisa Olstein employs her signature wit, wordplay, candor, and absurdity in poems that are her most personaland politicalto date. Like a brilliant dinner conversation that ranges from animated discussions of politics, philosophy, and religion to intimate considerations of motherhood, friendship, and eros, Olsteins voice is immediately approachable yet uncomfortably at home in the American empire.Lisa Olstein is the author of four poetry collections and a booklength lyric essay. She is a member of the poetry faculty at the University of Texas at Austin where she teaches in the Michener Center for Writers and New Writers Project MFA programs.
