Eve Ganson — Horn, Thorn, Tooth and Claw
Eve Ganson drew the desert as a comic cast of survivors: roadrunner, rattlesnake, toad, owl, burro, bat, and every creature equipped with horn, thorn, tooth, or claw. This hybrid edition restores her complete fifty-three-poem sequence twice—first as a cleaned facsimile of the illustrated pages, then as a fully reset reading text.
Culver, Ruby De Corsaw — The Flaming Bush
A book-length journey through Rhyolite, Salton Sea, moonlit canyons, mirage, and desert revelation.
L. Sandra Deeth — Desert Dwellers
A road book, field guide, campfire album, and desert songbook in one: 143 poems roaming from the Colorado River to Death Valley with a stubborn eye for place.
Berthold Convers Huber — Tujunga Songs
A canyon mystic, labor poet, satirist, and formal experimenter turns Big Tujunga into a wild meeting ground for Mercury, rain, rocks, railroad men, and unruly joy.
Paul Bradshaw Bachtell — At Lucifer’s Portals and Other Verses
A teenage desert poet grew into a satirist of gamblers, vampires, millionaires, soldiers, and the damned—then sent one last hard-boiled ballad home from an Army training camp before disappearing into law and an unwritten stage mystery.
Henry Bedford-Jones — Collected Poems
The “King of the Pulps” was also an exacting private-press poet. This edition recovers 146 poems—forest songs, mission voices, family lyrics, translations, war verse, satire, and fiction-born ballads—from books so scarce that some survive in only a few dozen copies.
Francis de Sales Gliebe — My Lady Poverty
A Franciscan classicist turns the life of Saint Francis into a sweeping blank-verse drama—then stages California mission history before thousands on the steps of Santa Barbara’s Old Mission and carries it into the silent-film era. This edition restores both surviving plays from their original scans, complete with speakers, songs, shared lines, and stage action.
