Bayou
Bayou is a collection of
short stories from the depths of the Bayous in southwest Louisiana. The
mostly ghostly themes capture and explain some of the mysteries of the
region. The illustrations are an added bonus. I was pleasantly surprised
to see the "Blue Dog" and then realized that the illustrations are by
Rodrigue, the creator of the famous "Blue Dog".

Atchafalaya Autumn II
Signed by author
Most of the original text
(1995 edition) is taken from extensive journals in which the author recorded
observations, experiences, thoughts and feelings during the many days and nights
he spent on houseboats and in camps in the Atchafalaya Basin. These journal
entries go back to about 1990, when he began consciously to try to return to an
earlier, simpler kind of life. Many of the photographs reveal the author's bias
in favor of early morning and late evening--the magic hour--when colors become
richer and textures capture the light in appealing ways.
