Besides being a poet, he writes a Christian blog (Alive in The Spirit), has been a performing member of The Magic Castle in Hollywood, a sculptor of mobile art, geocacher, MMORPG player, and business owner.

When the skies cleared over the Florida Panhandle on Oct. 10, 2018, the strongest storm ever to strike the state had left thousands devastated, and dozens dead. The survivors struggled without power, clean water or working sewer, literally digging their homes and businesses out of rubble, or from underneath fallen trees.In that raw moment, artists and writers and photographers began to process the pain. The Syndicate Studio, a Panama City-based cooperative, reached out and asked for their poems, essays, short stories, drawings, paintings and photographs created in the wake and wreckage of Hurricane Michael. The idea was to gather that pain and turn it into something positive - a compendium to be used to raise funds for local hurricane relief efforts.While the wounds were still open and raw. Before we managed distance or perspective. As we climbed out of the darkness. We wanted to understand what this world-changing, life-changing event means in the moment. To the survivors, their loved ones and friends.We were walking out of the wilderness together. Taking those first steps. This is what the first steps of the journey showed us.

Of all the Homeland Security agencies operating in New Orleans before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina’s landfall, no agency performed its duties with the same level of diligence and heroism as did the U.S. Coast Guard. Tirelessly, Coasties in helicopters and small boats pulled survivors from rooftops, floating debris, and high ground and ferried them to safety as the rest of us watched live on CNN. Only a few days later, disaster struck again in the form of Hurricane Rita, which left even more people in desperate need of rescue and assistance. In the aftermath of the storms, some 5,000 Coast Guard personnel rescued 33,735 individuals--six times more than the annual average number rescued by the service nationwide. Then, unobserved by the media, the Coast Guard successfully restored the vital navigation aids in the region, preventing further death and destruction. In Katrina’s Wake presents a riveting account of the astounding operations undertaken by the men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard in the aftermath of one of the worst natural disasters ever to strike America. While other government agencies struggled to mobilize and failed to provide real solutions, one small, decentralized agency stepped forward and performed above and beyond the call of duty.

TIMED FOR THE FIFTEENTH COMMEMORATION of Hurricane Katrina's dreadful epic of destruction and loss, suffering and death, KATRINA'S WAKE: Journeys on a Hurricane Coast takes the reader along with lifelong journalist and nature writer Doug Lee, also a photographer and expatriate native son of the Central Gulf Coast, on a post-storm pilgrimage to a part of the world he has known well and loved deeply all his life. There he searches out what tattered remnants can still be found of an older way of life, conducted over extensive travels to New Orleans and surrounding areas of Louisiana and Mississippi in the critical years of 2006 to 2009, when the region's comeback was just beginning, whole neighborhoods of New Orleans remained all but abandoned, and the storm's debris and wreckage still littered the landscape. Katrina's Wake is a window into that tenuous period when come-backs were in question, and, further, an in-depth exploration of the Gulf Coast with an eye to the much longer view, evaluating the role that Louisiana's disappearing coastal wetlands have historically played in mitigating hurricanes' damage to New Orleans, and how they can be restored to significant portions of their former area, presently about 4,000 square miles of marshes, bayous and swamps. That's decreased by a third from its original natural extent since whole-scale levee-building along the Mississippi River undertaken nearly a century ago cut off their main source of fresh water and sediments borne by the Big Muddy's annual floods, and as you read this, they're still eroding at the rate of a football field's worth of invaluable wetlands every hour and a half, round the clock, every day of the year. Lee reports on the steps that can and must be taken to restore these protective and incredibly fertile wetlands, home at some point in their life cycles to every commercial species of fish, shrimp or crustacean that swims in the Gulf of Mexico. Equally critical, they constitute a protective bulwark for South Louisiana's towns and cities, most notably New Orleans, by lowering a hurricane's storm surge a foot for every three miles of wetlands it covers as it plows inland. This phenomenon has become well-known in South Louisiana as providing 'Speed Bumps for Hurricanes', a phrase that's become a rallying cry for restoring the coastal marshes through major engineering projects channeling the Mississippi's overflows into strategically critical areas of damaged or destroyed wetlands..These and a great many other aspects of the storm and its aftermath are explored in this book, as well as the region's long-term prospects, resting on a foundation of extensive reportage by the author for articles published in National Geographic in the 1980s and '90s, when he was a senior staff writer and editor in the magazine's Science Department. Those early travels and the more recent journeys he undertook from 2006 into 2009 to research and write Katrina's Wake have given him a knowledge and intimacy with the quirky life and colorful history of settlements and their vividly individualistic inhabitants who have resided beside the river south of New Orleans in the Mississippi River Delta, all but forgotten by modern readers or lovers of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast's history. Traveling with him, we meet a vivid cast of swamp frontiersmen born a century late, fierce and determined urban survivors, and embattled oystermen, fishermen and and shrimpers, academics and scientists all united in one thing: their love and grief for this coast's many indelible cultures and its wounded natural inheritance, whose future lies now in our hands, and their determination and dedication to revivifying the life abundant they once knew so well.Lee's fascination with this region is both professional and personal, as he spent most summers of his pre-teen and teen years driving tractors and milking cows, barefoot in his Uncle Frank's dairy barn on the family's Mississippi Coast farm.

"In this collaborative project, photographer Chris Jordan and writers Bill McKibben and Susan Zakin combine their perspectives on the causes and consequences of the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster. Victoria Sloan Jordan's poems touch the emotional terrain with a spareness that echoes the austere visual landscape. Taken together, these four viewpoints bear witness to the profound tragedy and raise challenging questions about the cultural conditions that contributed to its unprecedented severity."--BOOK JACKET.
