Voices of New Orleans

"The very first night we moved in you could immediately sense it in your eyes, nose and throat." — Paul Stewart on moving into a toxic FEMA trailer

Do You Know readers gather tomorrow

by The Chin Music Press team
January 23, 2007

dyk_03.jpgJoin David Rutledge, Sarah Inman, CW Cannon and Ray Shea for an eclectic reading from Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans? tomorrow (Wednesday, the 24th) at 7pm at the Jefferson Parish library. It's free and will no doubt be fun.

This foursome will give you a taste of the breadth of our little post-Katrina book. Readings will include the dark hours before the levees broke as people decided to stay or go, a telling tale about lessons learned on the trapeze, a manifesto from the 2003 Mardi Gras that is even more pertinent today and an insider's look at the life of a teenage float grunt. Hope to see you there.

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.
