Dixie Salazar has published three books of poetry: HOTEL FRESNO by Blue Moon Press in 1988, REINCARNATION OF THE COMMONPLACE (national poetry award winner) by Salmon Run Press in 1999, and BLOOD MYSTERIES by University of Arizona in 2003. LIMBO, my novel, was published by White Pine Press in 1995. I have also published numerous poems and some short stories in about sixty different literary journals, including, THE MISSOURI REVIEW, THE RED BRICK REVIEW, POETRY INTERNATIONAL and PLOUGHSHARES, as well as quite a few anthologies such as MANY CALIFORNIAS, UNSETTLING AMERICA and HIGHWAY 99.
Currently I teach writing and literature at California State University and show oil paintings and collage work at the Silva/ Salazar studios in Fresno, California. I have also taught extensively in the California prisons and the Fresno County jail.
