Finding Peaches in the Desert

By Pamela Uschuk

Book Overview

This is the first collection of poetry by American Book Award winner Pamela Uschuk. FINDING PEACHES IN THE DESERT won the 2001 Literature Award from the Tucson/Pima Arts Council. Luis Urrea wrote of this book, Whether she writes of the sexy quiet of marriage . . . or the lacerating political rage that bursts out of many of these pages, Uschuk maintains the light that burns in her chest. All the landscapes here - from the desert's rumpled floor to the poet's own bed to the torture chambers of Chile - are alive and vivid with this light. Joy Harjo calls it a sensual garden.
