Bayou Girl

Hello! My name is Asia Briana, also known as “Bayou Girl.” Bayou Girl is my origin story, as it connects back to my beginnings in New Orleans, my hometown.

I published my first book in December 2020: “Bring Me Back Home, New Orleans,” a poetry collection dedicated to New Orleans. My newest poetry collection is entitled, “Cemetery Psalms,” a collection of grief poems. My poetry themes are rooted in displacement, spirituality with God, introversion, earth pangs, and childhood nostalgia. I hope to touch the souls of the people who read my work. God bless!

My Happy Readers

I hope to touch the souls of the people who read my work.
Such a sweet memory of home.

I really enjoyed Bring me back home, New Orleans. Asia takes readers on an actual tour of the city through her writing. I can sense her love and longing for New Orleans. It’s like the Mississippi River flows through her veins. What a creative writing style she has, and a great title too. I’m a New Orleans native, displaced from Katrina as well, and it took me on a journey. I imagined riding my bike and walks to the “snowball” stand and all the other memories we had as kids. Great job Asia, keep on writing!

Beautifully Written.
Asia Brown has transformed pain into poetry in this collection, where she writes about her childhood home in New Orleans, which was devasted by Hurricane Katrina. As humans, we often grieve different things, some of which have lasting effects that we may never get over. Here, Asia takes us there with her. Much respect as a fellow poet and former classmate! (I went to UNCW with her and even took a class with her!) Very beautifully written and inspiring.
