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."
