Description

Poet Diane Moore follows the languid Bayou Teche from its source at Port Barre to Morgan City, Louisiana where it empties into the mighty Atchafalaya River, making a journey that traces Cajun origins in a lovely, lonely landscape. She unveils the characters and events from the late 18th century when the Cajuns fled their native Pisiguit, Nova Scotia to present-day oil wealthy Acadiana. Included are poems describing the Great Flood of 1927, a Civil War battle near Franklin, Louisiana, and swamp life, and that explore spiritual ties among a people who built homes and enterprises along “a slow-moving stream,” the Bayou Teche. Photographic illustrations by Dr. Victoria I. Sullivan. Published 2016.
