Description
Beloved Louisiana poet and emeritus Louisiana Poet Laureate Darrel Bourque returns to UL Press with migraré, a masterful exploration of the ancient Arabic ghazal form of poetry, keyed to the abstract expressionistic paintings of Louisiana artist Bill Gingles. Using this hypnotic form and Gingles s paintings as a canvas and foundation, Bourque conjures a vivid, imagistic meditation on pressing issues of migration, difference, and acceptance in the modern world.
