Award-winning poetry, humorous essays, framed word art & limited edition books.
“Zach Hively is an award-winning poet and columnist. His latest works include Call Me Zach Hively Because That Is My Name, a collection of humorous essays selected as a Kickstarter “Project We Love”; Owl Poems; and the Reading the West Book Award-winning Desert Apocrypha. His latest poetry is always available in a Studio Tour-exclusive limited edition.
Zach believes poetry and nonfiction should be both accessible and stimulating. In addition to printed books, he makes physical word art from his poems, which incorporate typewritten pieces with elements of such tactile materials as native flora, paper, wood, metal, and glass. He also revels in other forms of word- and font-play, creating physical iterations of the written word.
As the publisher of Casa Urraca Press, he commits himself to designing aesthetically and tangibly pleasing books of poetry and creative nonfiction that support the work of daring, eloquent New Mexican authors.
