There is a bibliography of material on the previous page, both published and unpublished, relating to Blythe, The Palo Verde Valley, and their surrounding deserts. This page will also be a bibliography. It's a listing of published material written by individuals that have spent all, or a significant part, of their lives here. The items on this page may or may not relate to our local area. Some of the material found on this page will duplicate items on the previous page as many authors listed there lived for many years in the Palo Verde Valley. Found on this page will be full length books (both fiction and nonfiction), papers, articles, short stories, and poetry. It's my hope that this and the previous page will help delineate our city's and valley's culture, and demonstrate the breadth of creativity many of the people here have achieved.
