Gumbo Circuitry: Poetic Routes, Gastronomic Legacies is part memorial, part celebration, part "calling in" (as opposed to calling out), and part Carnivale. Make no mistake- this is a Creole Book and as such, this collection is a love letter to Louisiana's Creole, Indigenous Gulf South, and Latinidad communities, in the homeland and the diaspora. This is a multimodal story that starts and ends with feasting. In Jolivétte's first (debut) poetry and cookbook collection food is land and food is family. In this creative and cultural collection, Jolivétte celebrates the intimacies of kinship and story as it rises from land into the food we cook, to the stories we tell at our dinner tables and songs we sing on front porches sipping chicory coffee-listening as the Spanish moss whispers a Creole lullaby.

Kimberly Wieser takes us on an expansive journey across mixedblood Indian Americana in this collection of poetry. Home is a place where our surroundings are familiar, an embodiment of one's very own being. It represents a sacred place for healing. "Na he dum--Cheyenne for 'I'm telling the truth'--is the phrase that lingers after reading Kimberly Wieser's no-holds-barred roaring whirlwind of a collection. This is the poetry of a woman, unabashed and unafraid, speaking from her whole mind and whole heart, emphatically declaring, here is the truth of my history, my people, my family, my body, my sex, my languages, my being, my very spirit. Written with unflinching eyes, this is work without hesitation or doubt, that refuses suffering and victimization, that celebrates survival and memory." --ire'ne lara silva, author of Flesh to Bone and Blood Sugar Cantos
