Louisiana has long been recognized for its production of talented writers, and its poets in particular have shined. From the early poetry of the state to the work crafted in the present day, Louisiana has nurtured and exported a rich and diverse poetic tradition. In Louisiana Poets: A Literary Guide authors Catharine Savage Brosman and Olivia McNeely Pass assess the achievements of Louisiana poets from the past hundred years who, Brosman and Pass assert, deserve both public notice and careful critical examination. Louisiana Poets presents the careers and works of writers whose verse is closely connected to the peoples, history, and landscapes of Louisiana or whose upbringing or artistic development occurred in the state. Brosman and Pass chose poets based on the scope, abundance, and excellence of their work; their critical reception; and the local and national standing of the writer and work. The book treats a wide range of forty poets—from national bestsellers to local celebrities—detailing their histories and output. Intended to be of broad interest and easy to consult, Louisiana Poets showcases the corpus of Louisiana poetry alongside its current profile. Brosman and Pass have created a guide that provides a way for readers to discover, savor, and celebrate poets who have been inspired in and by the Pelican State.

"Creole poets have always eluded easy definition, infusing European poetic forms with Louisiana themes and Native American and African influences to produce an impressive variety of highly accomplished verses. The first major collection of its kind, Creole Echoes contains over a hundred of these poems by more than thirty different poets, presented by M. Lynn Weiss in their original French alongside new English translations by Norman R. Shapiro.The poems gathered here were all composed in French by Louisiana residents of European, African, and Caribbean origin. Their themes range from love and history to nightmare and childhood recollection. In these pages somber elegies meet whimsical surprises, and rhyming animal fables meet political panegyrics. "

Fertile Repository holds poems that grew from the life experiences of the 16 authors in this book, whose combined 1000 plus years of living experience is fertile ground indeed. Out of this Louisiana soil came each poem, a unique flower that stemmed from the mind of the poet, gathered here to form the bouquet that is this collection of personal emotions, experiences, and memories of life in the 20th and 21st centuries. The biographies of the contributing writers illustrate the wide variety of backgrounds the poets have, though they all now live in the fertile clay and loam of South Louisiana.The writers in this book do have a common root; they have all been students of Patricia Ward's Poetry Class at People Program of New Orleans, a school offering classes for people aged 50 and above. At the request of then director, friend and former colleague LaVerne Kappel, Patricia Ward, a retired New Orleans public school teacher, started the class in 2008. When in 2010, LaVerne said "Pat, we need to have a poetry reading," then began yearly Sunday afternoon poetry readings by noted Louisiana poets, some sponsored by the Louisiana Endowment for the Arts. Many Louisiana Poets and Poet Laureates have presented, including poets John Gery, Jerry Ward, Gina Ferrara, Nivi Osundare, and Kelley Harris-DeBerry, and Louisiana Poet Laureates Darrel Bourque, Julie Kane, Ava Leavell Haymon, Peter Cooley and Jack Bedell. Pat's class and the public at large are always invited to listen, ask questions and attend the reception. This book collective of various poets associated with the People Program of New Orleans, an educational outreach for seniors over the age of 50 offered through the Sisters of Saint Joseph in New Orleans, LA. Life affirming poetry offerings in the form of haiku, sonnets, villanelles, ballads, odes, and free verse. Many of the poems are illustrated by New Orleans' artists Lisette Copping, Craig Berthold, Miriam Hirsch and various illustrations of the authors.

Mississippi has produced outstanding writers in numbers far out of proportion to its population. Their contributions to American literature, including poetry, rank as enormous. Mississippi Poets: A Literary Guide showcases forty-seven poets associated with the state and assesses their work with the aim of appreciating it and its place in today’s culture. In Mississippi, the importance of poetry can no longer be doubted. It partakes, as Faulkner wrote, of the broad aim of all literature: “to uplift man’s heart.” In Mississippi Poets, author Catharine Savage Brosman introduces readers to the poets themselves, stressing their versatility and diversity. She describes their subject matter and forms, their books, and particularly representative or striking poems. Of broad interest and easy to consult, this book is both a source of information and a showcase. It highlights the organic connection between poetry by Mississippians and the indigenous music genres of the region, blues and jazz. No other state has produced such abundant and impressive poetry connected to these essential American forms. Brosman profiles and assesses poets from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Grounds for selection include connections between the poets and the state; the excellence and abundance of their work; its critical reception; and both local and national standing. Natives of Mississippi and others who have resided here draw equal consideration. As C. Liegh McInnis observed, “You do not have to be born in Mississippi to be a Mississippi writer. . . . If what happens in Mississippi has an immediate and definite effect on your work, you are a Mississippi writer.”
