Inspiration Hailing from New Orleans

Couldn't resist reblogging this post from the Ashé Cultural Arts Center, which always has envy-worthy programs going on. Ashé will be hosting a book signing of Men We Love, Men We Hate, an anthology of writings by students from Students at the Center (SAC), a program that works with New Orleans public schools in teaching English and elective writing classes.

Adrinda Kelly, an alumni who participated in the first year of SAC, provides this introduction: "This book is pregnant with love, but it is a love overburdened by secrets, disappointments, repression, confrontation, accusations, forgiveness, and loss." (Students at the Center Writings. Men We Love, Men We Hate. Students at the Center: 2009.)

The book can purchased for download or hardcopy online at SAC's website.
