Swamp Songs ISBN: 0874807433 University of Utah Press. 2003 New Orleans native St. Germain (English, Iowa State U.) shares personal essays about her hometown and the surrounding swampland, and losses in her own life and community. She incorporates what she sees as aspects of the Deep South the power of water, a love of the sensuous, a sense of the dramatic, dysfunctional family life, and having "a highly evolved sense of tragedy and, out of a need for survival, humor." Some of the essays appeared previously in various journals. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
