Written by Melanie P. Falina, this is her second collection of free verse poems written about, written in, and inspired by, the city of New Orleans. A journalist who covers an array of topics in her articles spanning arts and entertainment, community and culture, travel, health and fitness, and more, Melanie Falina's greatest muse, however, is New Orleans. With its music, food, history, culture, and obsession with festivals, the Crescent City is a medley of endless mystique and complicated contradictions.
