Overview

A popular Louisiana legend describes the fate of Kate Mulvaney, otherwise known as the Swamp Witch of Maurepas. After a troubled life in New Orleans, she was sent to the swamps by a voodoo witch, where she learned the ways of the bayou and settled into a reclusive existence. For some, this may be a cautionary tale; for others, it may be colored with a certain hopefulness. In All the Woods' Wild, Jack B. Bedell crafts a story through sonnets that leaves us feeling like we know a woman who never lived-- and never died.
