Silver Concho Poetry Series
Believing that small presses publish some of the most vital poetry in America today, we support Press 53 in its ongoing pursuit of furthering the cause of American literature. Our aim is to select each year the four highest quality poetry manuscripts written either in new voices or in voices inexplicably forgotten or ignored. Open to all forms and styles, we do favor compelling poetry with a distinct edge.
William Pitt Root and Pamela Uschuk, Silver Concho Poetry Series Editors
“Whether she’s regaling us with tales of mothers and daughters, tender, lost husbands, neurotic dogs, dust-dreaming babies or the chattering teeth of javelinas, ‘the bad blonde, lucky blonde’ of these poems is passionate, sexy, witty and always smart. Charlotte Lowe has made of her poetry an exuberant landscape we traverse with deep pleasure.”
— Karen Brennan, author of The Real Enough World
