His poems have appeared in Hot Summer Nights: A Collection of Erotic Poetry and Prose (Inner Child Press, 2012),[1] Wildflowers, a Woodstock mountain poetry anthology (Woodstock, NY: Shivistan Publishing),[2] Artist and Influence, Fish Drum, The Hat, The Reading Room,[3] The Sienese Shredder[4] and The New York Times. He has also served as Poetry Editor for The Reading Room.[5]

La Prade's poem, "Baudelaire, Ashbery, Updike," earned Things Maps Don’t Show (Del Mar, CA: Aegis Press, 1995, pp. 43-44) a place in the Ashbery Research Center (ARC) archive of Bard College. ARC's copy of the book is shelved with a copy of correspondence from La Prade.[6]

A collection of La Prade's interviews, Breaking Through: Richard Bellamy and The Green Gallery, 1960–1965, was published in 2010 by MidMarch Arts Press. The book traces the history of Bellamy’s celebrated art gallery through interviews with twenty-three of its exhibited artists including Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, and Frank Stella. A frequently cited source of information on the gallery, the book is archived at both the library of the Museum of Modern Art[7] and at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas J. Watson Library.[8] La Prade has also published articles and interviews in Art Critical,[9] The Brooklyn Rail,[10] NY Arts Magazine,[11][12] Rain Taxi: A Review of Books,[13] Night Magazine,[14][15][16] Captured: A Film/Video History of The Lower East Side (Seven Story Press, 2005),[17] and The Outlaw Bible of American Essays (Thunder's Mouth Press, 2006).[18]
