Louisiana Words Re-Ignites It's Flame for It's 8th Year!

Louisiana Words is back to celebrate it’s 8th year alive! This year we will re-ignite our artistic flame across the state for the our worldwide audience to see! Louisiana Words will evolve into a platform for Louisiana statewide writers and artists to have a free platform to expose themselves to the rest of the world. This way, they can build an audience and hopefully boost support for future endeavors that may or may not be related to Louisiana Words.

In 2021, in this 8th year of this movement that’s grown into an esteemed community’s artistic body of work, we are here to stay! This is something to celebrate! Louisiana Words will start it’s evolution into a nonprofit organization. You can expect the return of our monthly feature of writers on “Mots de Louisiane,” public shows, and, virtual readings. Also, we have a podcast and a documentary in the works.

Please follow Louisiana Words often in July to learn more about who we are and where we are going in the future. Of course, we will be celebrating the best writing of all time with postings and shares on social media. Starting with the best of 2021, expect postings often in July with tons of information about Louisiana Words, the Home of Louisiana Writers.

Lunatic (Lily Lechler - New Orleans, LA)

“Lunacy” comes from the moon, Who cycles through brilliance and darkness Bipolarity’s patterns are not so easily assumed Opposites not so well harnessed Who cycles through brilliance and darkness? The girl who sits in bed, wrestling with Opposites. Not so well harnessed As she thought, her brain gives reason the slip The girl who sits in bed, wrestling with Her body, depressed, her thoughts manic. As she thought, her brain gave reason the slip And gives the gift of life in a dreamlike panic. Her body depressed her thoughts.

Louisiana Words Remembers Jorge Arturo

There’s nothing that hurts more than when we lose someone from our Louisiana Words family. But, the beauty of our writing movement is that the words of our loved ones live on with us. On June 20th, 2023, Louisiana Words Allstar, Jorge Arturo, moved on from this world leaving our hearts broken. He was a charismatic and talented human being. Jorge resided in New Orleans, LA and had been active on Louisiana Words for over a year. To honor Jorge’s life and work, we will be sharing his writing and live performances all Summer 2023. Please help keep his spirit alive by sharing his work. We know that Jorge’s words will connect with our readers and we hope to keep his spirit alive.

The Harvest (Nick Perere - Baton Rouge, LA)

When I was in college a barely adult youth, strange men a circular ellipse around me placed their heavy hands on my temple and prayed in twisted tongues like at the Tower of Babel Casting out the Demon of Homosexuality. I like to think on that day, the Demon was free’d. And he formed this gayer than gay version of me. Maybe he escaped the Bible Belt and found himself in New York or San Francisco. Free from being Oppressed. Repressed. Dogmatized. Free from the thoughts of self harm. Free from trying so hard to be someone they’re not meant to be. While I mourn for my youth, it started over when I escaped the spiritual enclave the cult. Doesn’t make me an atheist. Because that in itself is a religion. But I no longer converse with the Creator. Or walk in the Holy Spirit. I have embraced my demons And that brings me peace. God loves all of His children except you.
