Cutting the Clouds Event-Franklin

Lafayette, LA resident and Louisiana native, Bessie Adams Senette has published her first book, “Cutting the Clouds, a Bayou Mystic’s Poems, Musings, and Imaginings.” It is an autobiographical collection of poems and essays about the life and culture of her bayou upbringing and the spirituality that informs her traditional healing gifts.

Many local artists and photographers contributed original works to this stunning, full- color, coffee table book. More than just a keepsake though, this book invites all its readers to look more deeply at their own experiences and value them as perfect spiritual teachings. Senette says, “ This is not a book about healing, this is a healing book.”
