On Sunday, November 2nd, 2025, join us as we host a reading and sharing event by many of the poets and artists who experienced Hurricanes Katrina & Rita. They have come together to contribute to a new anthology, Hurricanes Katrina & Rita at 20, an Anthology of Poetry and Art (Black Bayou Press, New Orleans), and share their creative work, reflecting, remembering, and healing our hearts. As with all Sundays@4 presentations, this will be free and open to the public.
About the Anthology:
“The year 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Two esteemed, award-winning former Poet Laureates of Louisiana, one a native to New Orleans, Mona Lisa Saloy, and the other a native to Lake Charles, John Warner Smith, worked together to commemorate those historic events by creating a forum for published and emerging poets as well as nine artists of Louisiana to share art, and poems of their experiences, feelings, and reflections of Katrina and Rita as seen through their eyes and the lives that the disasters impacted.”
Sundays@4 is presented in partnership with the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area whose mission is to enhance the identity of our unique American landscape by preserving and promoting our heritage and by fostering progress for local champions that create authentic, powerful connections between people, culture, and the environment.
