Many of the recurring motifs found in south Louisiana's culture
spring from the state's rich folklore. Influenced by settlers of
European and African heritage, celebrated customs like the Courir
de Mardi Gras and fabled creatures like the Loup-Garou grow out of
the region's distinctive oral tradition. Joshua Clegg Caffery's In
the Creole Twilight draws from this vibrant and diverse legacy to
create an accessible reimagining of the state's traditional
storytelling and songs. A scholar and Grammy-nominated musician,
Caffery borrows from the syllabic structures, rhyme schemes,
narratives, and settings that characterize Louisiana songs and
tales to create new verse that is both well-researched and
refreshingly inventive. Paired with original pen-and-ink
illustrations as well as notes that clarify the origins of
characters and themes, Caffery's compositions provide a link to the
old worlds of southern Louisiana while constructing an entirely new
one.
