Bobby Byrd is a founding member of Cinco Puntos Press that specializes in publishing the literature (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and books for kids) from the U.S./Mexico border, Mexico and the American Southwest. In recognition of its importance as a voice for the region and commitment to literature, CPP has received the American Book Award for excellence in publishing and has been inducted into the Latino Literary Hall of Fame. Bobby Byrd's collaboration with Jim Ward is a musical marriage of alternative rock, contemporary social issues, and romantic visions of who we are.
