Description
Structured like the movements of a New Orleans jazz funeral, this all-sonnet collection deals with death, loss, war, disaster, the binding power of community, and the celebratory spirit that reemerges after all. In the words of poet and critic David Mason: "Part elegy for a city and a way of life, part meditation on mortality and grace, this book is wonderfully, defiantly alive."
