New Orleans
BETWEEN POETRY AND THE BLUES

To tourists, New Orleans is a party town, a city of parades, music, festivals, Mardi Gras, jazz, free-flowing booze and food. Yet beneath this bon vivant façade, there is a deep, haunting side of New Orleans unmasked and woven into poetic tales of this once glorious city of faded hopes. Reduced to a court jester, New Orleans as a mere shadow of her former grandeur, like Brigadoon, on one fine day may return, but for now her former glory ain’t there no mo’. A totally intriguing read!
