April is National Poetry Month and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to feature works by Dr. Mona Lisa Saloy, Louisiana poet laureate and Dillard University Conrad N. Hilton endowed professor of English. Enjoy "We've Come This Far" from Dr. Saloy's first book, "Red Beans and Ricely Yours".
