James Cooper, my father, passed away before he could write this foreword. He had been terminally ill for the entirety of his published writing career, but wrote and created tirelessly. It was his wish for his poems and stories to survive him, to leave us with great, enduring beauty in the wake of such pain.
Though this book is not about him, strictly speaking, there is so much of him in it. The story draws inspiration from his experiences: as a clinical psychologist, son, father, husband, aquatic adventurer and lifeguard, seeker of ancient wisdom, and keen student of the human condition. But beyond his experiences, my father's qualities and the essence of who he was flows through his writing. He appears to me as a river, winding and playful, bubbling with a whimsical curiosity, a tributary feeding into a deep and patient lagoon that feeds into the ocean, a place to which he had great love and connection. From somewhere beneath the surface of what we know, secrets, insights, mysteries and truths drift elegantly to the surface, bringing forth hidden meaning and an inquisitive smile.
One of the last things my father said to me before he died was this: "Always remember, I am with you in so many ways." This book is one of those ways. May you know and appreciate him more through his stories and poems. For truly, in the simple joy of perfectly buttered popcorn, in the wonder of fireworks blooming overhead, as well as in life's most enduring, transcendent truths: Always remember, he is with us, in so many ways, now and forever.

From Gen. Andrew Jackson to Marie Laveau to Paul Tulane, colorful legends of the early Crescent City convey a fascinating landscape. Author Andre Cajun's lively characters and locations etch an animated past relayed with artistic freedom. He imparts sensationalized circumstances that the modern reader will recognize as a typical style of today's media.
Cajun moved to New Orleans as a riverboat captain but soon found a more suitable career as an entertainer, delighting the crowds of visitors awaiting transport on the Mississippi with his historical parodies of Louisiana's rich traditions. Those embellished tales fill the pages of this vintage book. Predominantly fiction with just enough actual history to make them believable, these vignettes cover everything from a tongue-in-cheek expos 1/2 of the Quadroon Ballroom to the notorious Basin Street to assertions of Napoleon's remains hidden, along with pirate booty, deep in the bayous of Barataria.
This new edition is faithfully recreated from the 1951 version, with the addition of an informative foreword by John T. Magill. Cajun's unabashed exuberance for all things piratical and his taste for embellishment are celebrated much as they have been since this collection was originally released in 1941. Magill's foreword provides illuminating historical context documenting Cajun's societal biases along with his skewed sense of history-all of which make for an enjoyable read.

"Phil Sandusky explores the New Orleans area landscape in search of the sublime in the ordinary and mundane. Whether painting fashionable filigreed Victorian houses Uptown, an oak-shaded Northshore inlet, industrial cranes along the Mississippi riverfront, a blue-green skiff in the fishing village of Delacroix, or the visual grace in a row of Creole cottages in a rundown Bywater neighborhood, Sandusky's painterly plein-air images give us the beauty of a fleeting, poetic moment." -John R. Kemp, New Orleans correspondent, ARTnews
More than 130 plein air paintings created between late 2006 and early 2012 portray the many angles of New Orleans, from intimate scenes to magnificent vistas. Differing from his previous books in that it also explores the areas surrounding the city, New Orleans Impressionist Cityscapes examines the majesty of Abita Springs, Fontainebleau Park, the humble fishing communities of St. Bernard Parish, the bustling Central Business District, and more. All neighborhoods of the Crescent City are subject to this artist's interpretation, as the vivid colors, bold brushstrokes, and liberal paint application demonstrates. This collection has captured the spirit, the life, and the thriving culture of the greater New Orleans area and reminds the viewer that the Big Easy is as alive as ever.

"In 1900 Madame B 1/2gu 1/2 wrote her recipes down in a French cook book collectors have always prized. The instructions assume a basic knowledge of cuisine: the measurements are often left to taste, temperature is relative, and cooking times left to the best judgment of the chef. It takes a few pages to realize much of the cookery takes place not on a stove, but over an open fire."-Don Spiro, Zelda: The Magazine of the Vintage Nouveau
Originally published in 1900 from the handwritten notes of Mme. B 1/2gu 1/2 herself, this collection of dishes from a quintessential New Orleans restaurant are now available in a edited and modernized version of the 1937 edition. One of the first cookbooks ever published in New Orleans that became a sought-after souvenir of the B 1/2gu 1/2's dining experience, it has been updated with a foreword by renowned food enthusiast Poppy Tooker. Originally published as a guide for tourists wanting a taste of true Creole cuisine, it includes recipes from other well-known cooks, including Victor Bero from Victor's Restaurant (later called Galatoire's). Tooker recreated the most significant of Madame B 1/2gu 1/2's creations by providing a contemporary rendition of the original recipe. Included are such treasures as Turtle Soup, Chicken 1/2 la Creole, and Creole Gumbo.

With his evocative paintings of New Orleans, Alan Flattmann is one of the most renowned American pastel artists. The haunting images capture life around the city, from the soulful Vieux Carr 1/2 to the stately Garden District to the mighty Mississippi. Cooks and customers contemplate the food in Galatoire's kitchen; a waiter rests, exhausted, in a chair outside of Caf 1/2 Du Monde; a streetcar picks up passengers looking to escape the rain. For more than four decades, Flattmann has expressed the timeless charm, mysterious appeal, and friendly personalities of New Orleans.
The Crescent City shines as never before through Flattmann's vibrant pastels. In this collection, Flatman and essayist John Kemp bring together scenes from the many neighborhoods of the city to complement the well-known images of the French Quarter. Accompanying these magnificent portraits, landscapes, and urban visions, Kemp's essays articulate Flattmann's unique perspective and technique.
