<b>Darrell Bourque - if you abandon me, comment je vas faire: An </b><b>Amédé</b><b> Ardoin Songbook</b><br />
<br />
Chapbook (2014), 8.5 inches x 5.5 inches. <br />
<a href="http://yellowflagpress.tictail.com/product/if-you-abandon-me-comment-je-vas-faire-by-darrell-bourque" target="_blank">BUY NOW</a><br />
<br />
<b>First Printing </b>Limited to an edition of 26 lettered copies.
60lb. Card-stock covers, 20% cotton linen paper. Hand-sewn binding. ($10).<br />
<br />
Darrell
Bourque explores the life of Creole musician Amédé Ardoin (1898-1942)
in this haunting collection of inverted sonnets. Using imagination and
historical research, Bourque delves into Ardoin, an influential but
enigmatic artist.<br />
This chapbook is the first installment of The Louisiana Series of Cajun and Creole Poetry (<i>La Série de Louisiane de Poésie des Acadiens et Créoles</i>). <br />
<br />
<br />
Early records are sketchy but<b> Amédé Ardoin</b>'s birthdate is
now believed to be March 11, 1898. Born to Thomas Ardoin and Aurelia Clint
Ardoin, he grew up in the Eunice-Basile area. The family was but a generation
from slavery and it is believed the Ardoin name was taken from an early family
the Ardoin's predecessors worked for. One census record shows him listed as a
farmer but his work was always directed to being a professional musician,
something unheard of in his time and unperceivable for a Negro at the
time. He was beaten in a racial assault
sometime late in his life and spent the last six months of his life as Case
13387 at the mental institution in Pineville, Louisiana where he died on
November 3, 1942. The same medical index card that gives his case number also
indicates that he was buried in an unmarked grave in the Negro section of the
graveyard at the hospital. Legendary Cajun fiddler Dennis McGee, his friend
with whom he played and recorded, called Amédé Ardoin <i>une chanson vivant, </i>a
living song. <br />
<br />
<b>Purpose of fundraising effort: </b>Family and friends of Amédé Ardoin have tried
to get information from the Central Louisiana Hospital in Pineville for several
years now. The inquiry was part of an
effort to return Ardoin's remains from the cemetery at Pineville to his home place
in the Eunice-Basile area. The hospital maintains that he was buried in an
unmarked grave in the Negro section of the graveyard there and that no
possibility of retrieval of remains is possible. That being the case, Amédé Ardoin's family,
friends, and lovers of his music would like to see some kind of public
commemorative placed in his community to honor his life and his immense
contribution to the Cajun and Creole culture he helped define through his
artistry, perhaps something in the form of a statue or a plaque near the home
he loved and kept trying to return to. A portion of the proceeds from <i>if you
abandon me, comment je vas faire</i>: <i>An Amédé Ardoin Songbook </i>will be
donated to the effort to realize such a public commemorative. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Darrell Bourque</b>'s latest full-length book of poems is <i>Megan's
Guitar and Other Poems from Acadie</i>. Bourque is professor emeritus of
English at the University of Louisiana Lafayette where he directed the
interdisciplinary humanities program and served as the first Friends of the
Humanities professor. He is a founding member of Narrative4, an international
story exchange program, a member of the board at the Ernest J. Gaines Center at
ULL and a former Louisiana Poet Laureate. The chapbook <i>if you abandon me,
comment je vas faire: An Amédé Ardoin Songbook </i>is his ninth work. <br />

<b>The Interview</b><br />
<br />
I sit in a conference room <br />
with 20 other people.<br />
There’s an emergency call <br />
mid-interview. It’s you, <br />
newborn baby. <br />
What will they think of me <br />
if I take the call? What will they think<br />
if I don’t?<br />
<br />
The interview continues. <br />
I have to ride a horse <br />
around a muddy field. I wear a frilly white dress—<br />
I want to look professional. <br />
My left hand holds<br />
the reins. My right <br />
picks up the phone. You are crying. <br />
I drop the reins and take up a sword. <br />
I cut off<br />
my breast to make room on my chest <br />
for comforting you.<br />
<br />
<br />
