In the Creole Twilight (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Many recurring motifs found in south Louisiana s culture spring from the state s rich folklore. Influenced by settlers of European and African heritage, celebrated customs like the Courir de Mardi Gras and fabled creatures like the Loup-Garou are outgrowths of the region s distinctive oral traditions. Joshua Clegg Caffery s In the Creole Twilight draws from this vibrant and diverse legacy to create an accessible reimagining of traditional storytelling and song.

A scholar and Grammy-nominated musician, Caffery borrows from the syllabic structures, rhyme schemes, narratives, and settings that characterize Louisiana songs and tales to create new verse that is both well-researched and refreshingly inventive. Paired with original pen-and-ink illustrations as well as notes that clarify the origins of characters and themes, Caffery s compositions provide a link to the old worlds of southern Louisiana while constructing an entirely new one."
