The spirits, the rituals, the legends whispered from Congo Square to the tombs of St. Louis Cemetery No.1? If New Orleans has ever called to something deeper inside you, something you could not quite name, then you already know: this city demands more than a weekend to understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarie Laveau: And other Legends, History \u0026amp; Poetry is Jeffrey Pipes Guice's ninth book in his celebrated series exploring the soul of his hometown. At its heart stands Marie Laveau, the legendary Voodoo Queen who fed the hungry, nursed the sick, counseled politicians, and commanded a spiritual empire from her cottage on St. Ann Street. But this book reaches far beyond one woman. Through vivid photography, original poetry, curated historical passages, and short stories, Guice guides you through the larger than life figures, both real and mythic, who shaped the culture, mystery, and magic of greater New Orleans.
