Submerged: Tales from the Basin

Submerged: Tales From the Basin is an anthology of literature, memoir, and art created by more than forty women to benefit those who survived Hurricane Katrina. The title refers to a fear many of us had as young children, of having our heads submerged under water while our mothers washed our hair. The stories, essays, poems, and art of Submerged are an exploration of each contributor's relationship with her hair, in most cases emotional, often humorous, and consistently generated from youth. Artist Lorien Jordan has created a series of drawings in response to these essays, memoirs, and poems. A percentage of the book's proceeds will help support Louisiana-based charities that work with ongoing relief efforts for hurricane survivors. Meet the authors Friday, September 19 at Bristens Café.
