Voices of New Orleans

“Why would anybody live here, stay here? Why, why, why, when there's so much crime? But we are unique to all of the world. I have such a sense of belonging here, and I don't know that I ever felt at home before." — novelist Amanda Boyden

About this blog

After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
