Chris Tusa is the Writer-in-Residence at Southeastern Louisiana University. His debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, was released by The University of West Alabama in March of 2009. In the City of Falling Stars is his second novel.
A book forged in the fiery Louisiana sun, everything a non-native needs to pick the poetry that hangs from the trees of these poems is readily available. The cover of the book and its eerie title do not account for the sardonic grin these pages unfold. From trees to recipes the book reads like a poetic travel guide, a joy for residents and non-residents alike.
