Spirits Of The Bayou

More than a book, Spirits of the Bayou delivers a renewed appreciation and a poetic presence built upon the past. Each chapter unlocks another door into the ancient houses of worship, or probes the eerie shadows of cemeteries and haunted legends deep inside the bayous. A seeker of knowledge on an unending quest to capture the beauty of Louisiana's sacred places, Deborah Burst has amassed a most unique portrait of artistic landscapes. It's a compelling gallery, a rarity in the literary world with both the magic of her words and the emotional flavor of her photographs. For the connoisseur, the book deserves a place on the coffee table; for the adventurer, it belongs neatly tucked in a backpack. It's a must-read for locals and a rare treat for those beyond the state's borders. With this second book in Burst's Sacred Places series, follow a trail of discovery, wonder, and intrigue from New Orleans to the ragged coast of Cajun country.
