Hearing Sappho in New Orleans: The Call of Poetry from Congo Square to the Ninth Ward - Southern Literary Studies
Ruth Salvaggio
At once a meditation on this poetic city, its many languages and cultures, and a history of its forgotten poetry. Using Sappho's fragments as a guide, Ruth Salvaggio roams the streets of the city as she explores the migrations of lyric poetry from ancient Greece through the African slave trade to indigenous America and ultimately to New Orleans.
