Reviews
Miracles happen at the water's edge - baptism, discipleship, a thirst for adventure, re-connection with ancient symbols of regeneration. In her collection titled Cte Blanche, poet Martha Serpas . . . invites us to become immersed in landscapes along Louisiana's low bayou country where 'Cte Blanche' is the name given by French cajun settlers to the 'White Coast' salt islands and inlets that encroach upon towns like St. Charles Crossing, Grand Caillou, and Port Fourchon. With the sure skill of a child grown up by the sea, Serpas navigates back to this briny world of characters she casts as pilgrims of a 'roustabout God.' She is a word artist drawing the reader into vivid descriptions of tough working men, of wives who count rosaries 'before a dark space in the wall' and a chorus of familiar voices, living and dead, that speak their experience of 'time we saved, forgot, then lost.', "Miracles happen at the water's edge - baptism, discipleship, a thirst for adventure, re-connection with ancient symbols of regeneration.
