Insight 2008 Guest Speaker
 |
|
To kick off our event, we think you’ll be inspired by our keynote speaker, Joshua Clark, author of Heart Like Water – surviving Katrina and life in its disaster zone. This personal memoir is sure to shed new light on one of the most devastating disasters in this country’s history. |
|
| From Booklist review: “In this riveting first-person account, Clark recalls the static in the air as the hurricane approached; the unnerving silence afterwards without even the sound of birds; and "shopping" for supplies at a local store where the owner had apparently given permission before fleeing. Between forays to find food and water, and "something to make us smile," Clark corresponded for NPR and wrote a Katrina diary for Slate. This is a raw, revealing, and highly personal look at surviving Hurricane Katrina.” |
