Book Overview

An evocative meditation on destruction and creation, the sacred and ephemeral, along Louisiana's coast. In poems that bear witness to the eroding bayou country and its Cajun culture, Martha Serpas venerates a vanishing landscape defined by water--sensuous, fecund, and destructive. As marsh turns into gulf, identity and consciousness are transformed as well. Serpas's verses invest paradox with her own defiantly spiritual meaning.

Finally, a poet for the 21st century!

Martha Serpas has compiled a elegy to Louisiana, New Orleans, and the people of the region that will stand as perhaps the most elegant and eloquent testimony to our Southern wounds. Serpas's poetry is remarkably readable with a lyricism and depth that echo long after you close the book. Bravo! for the Dirty Side of the Storm.

Breathtaking

Martha Serpas' poetry is always gritty, lush and evocative. This new volume is absolutely stunning.
