Downtown | Lee Grue
2 posts | 1 read
Poetry. Lee Grue is arguably one of the finest practitioners of poetry in New Orleans' storied history. These superb writs are equal to the upwelling of jazz itself: from Treme street corners, to the wayward French Quarter, to the carefree vibes of Bywater, all the way to back o' town; this astonishing collection speaks from a mythic pantheon off yowls & beats as timeless as the Crescent City herself. "If you're missing New Orleans, and you know what that means, you need to read Grue's book front to back, place by place, time by time, name by name, everything that breaks your broken heart and asks it to sing. A generous, loving tribute to poetry and to New Orleans" Dara Wier. "Lee Grue's work is one of the majestic pylons that keeps New Orleans above water, a pylon woven thickly and subtly from the city's history. Her poetry weaves her personal history to the five centuries of the city's own, a fabric stronger than the dreams of engineers. Lee Grue holds us all on the warm open hand of her music; she emanates the love that raises the soul levees" Andrei Codrescu."

Today was my first time getting out and exploring my new area. I was so happy to find a couple of free little libraries along the way. I ended up walking to a local bookstore and back. Of course I didn't leave empty handed!

SW-T Yay! Sounds like you‘re getting settled in 😊 So nice to have things within walking distance. 6y

Thanks @GypsyKat for the alert.

At least it will be in the early morning and not in the middle of the day or evening
