2012 marks the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, and we will promote
this connection. After defeating the British at the Battle of New
Orleans, Andrew Jackson returned to the city, where an arch was
erected to greet him in the Place d’Armes. Later, the area was
renamed Jackson Square in the general’s honor.
Tom Varisco: Tom Varisco is the creator of "Spoiled," a photo book
of Hurricane Katrina refrigerator art, and "Signs of New Orleans,"
a record of New Orleans street sign culture. He runs the Tom
Varisco Design Studio in New Orleans.
John Biguenet: John Biguenet has published seven books, including
"Oyster," a novel, and "The Torturer's Apprentice: Stories,"
released in the U.S. by Ecco/HarperCollins and widely translated.
His work has received an O. Henry Award for short fiction and a
Harper's Magazine Writing Award among other distinctions, and his
poems, stories, plays, and essays have been reprinted or cited in
"The Best American Mystery Stories," "Prize Stories: The O. Henry
Awards," "The Best American Short Stories," "Best Music Writing,"
"Contemporary Poetry in America," "Katrina on Stage," and various
other anthologies. His work has appeared in such magazines as
Granta, Esquire, North American Review, Oxford American, Playboy,
Storie (Rome), Story, and Zoetrope. Named its first guest columnist
by The New York Times, Biguenet chronicled in both columns and

and the efforts to rebuild the city.
