Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected and new poems by award-winning poet and novelist Albert Belisle Davis. By way of traditional and free forms, the poems use the fictitious parish of Mondebon in South Louisiana as a backdrop for the thoughts and expressions—both humorous and serious—of modern day Acadian (Cajun) and non-Acadian residents of Mondebon. As Louisiana Poet Laureate Jack Bedell says, Davis "gives voice to trappers, wives, cooks, old aunts down the bayou, ancient philosophers and warriors, fallen priests, saints, sinners, and folks stunned to disbelief and faith by real life. These lines come from wisdom, from pain, from time, from heart, and from the echoes of belly laughs."
