Jessica at 45th Parallel has sent me a copy of the new book published by Chin Music Press, Where We know: New Orleans As Home; edited by David Rutledge and designed by Joshua Powell.
The Press Release explains:
The counterclockwise swirl of Katrina and the subsequent levee breaches ripped civilisation right off of New Orleans five years ago. At the time, David Rutledge compiled an anthology of essays and art (Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?) that gave voice to denizens of the Crescent City as they waited in exile, unsure of their city's fate… Five years later, New Orleans is still limping. This second book of a planned trilogy looks at both those who stayed on and rebuilt their lives in New Orleans and those who had to say goodbye…
Keeping with the precedent set by it's predecessor Where We Know has been not only compiled and edited with care but admirably designed to reflect the character and spirit of New Orleans. It's great, not least because it reminds us of the plight of a devastated city still struggling to get back on its feet.
Brilliant cover design.
