What people are saying about French Quarter Rain: Poems inspired by New Orleans ...

October 20, 2014

Format: Paperback

French Quarter Rain captures both the beauty and the grit of New Orleans.
Falina doesn’t sugar coat her feelings or observations in these poems. The
result is a heartfelt and raw view of a city that most people either love or hate.
Whichever view you take, you can’t deny that New Orleans is a unique city
unlike any other. Not only do these poems convey the good and bad sides of
New Orleans, but it contains an element of humor as well. One of my favorites
is the poem “Sir.” I would have never thought that a cockroach could be made
funny.

heartfelt and draw you into the city, both the good and bad parts of it. The poems
bring out emotion in you when you read them from joy to sadness. I highly
recommend reading this unique collection of poems about the very unique city
of New Orleans.

Gaslit Shadows is a group of poems that takes you into the city of New Orleans. The words
draw you into the the mysterious and unique city. If you've been lucky enough to have been
to the French Quarter and New Orleans they will bring you back to how special it is. If you've
never had the pleasure you will want to go. Melanie Falina does a wonderful job of capturing
this great City with poems like "Pied Piper of New Orleans" 

and "Bayou Perfume" just to name a couple. I've only been there once and I want to
go back!

New Orleans is a complex city and the poems in Gaslit Shadows has a beautiful way of portraying
it. One can really feel both pain and joy through Falina's words. For those who have visited the
city, I am sure that the sentiments and experiences described will ring true. For those who have
never been, I would expect their curiosities to be highly intrigued.
