Delta Flats

From the piney hills of northern Louisiana to the raw and decadent streets of New Orleans, *Delta Flats: Stories in the Key of Blues and Hope* records the daily lives of its characters with a poetic rhythm that evokes the ebb and flow of life itself. Dixon Hearne is a master at capturing the -blue reality- of life, moments--both large and small--that define the hot days and long nights of the deep south. With language as gritty as the blues and as beautiful as a gospel choir, he juxtaposes the downtrodden with the hopeful and the darkness with the light and plays out each story with deft, lyrical descriptions that make the reader want to laugh and sing with joy.
