here’s an edge zone between 
water and land 
monster and man 
love and lust; blood and rust 
righteous anger and 
blind carnal rage 
that’s the territoire of the Loup Garou
on the savage bayou 
the leeward side of the moon…

What is a Loup Garou?

He is a wild and dangerous entity (some say a werewolf ) well anchored in the folk traditions of southern Louisiana. His story comes from France through Acadia down the Mississippi and numerous inland routes to Louisiana.

Here, in print for the first time, is the text of the critically acclaimed environmental performance that investigates the deep interconnections between land and culture in Louisiana. This compelling poem is part performance, part ritual, part howl to the world about the plight of southeast Louisiana and all the other places in the nation and the world facing environmental destruction from corporate development.
