2 of our conversation with Josh
Neufeld about his non-fiction graphic novel, A.
D. After the Deluge. “A stunning graphic novel that
makes plain the undeniable horrors and humanity triggered by
Hurricane Katrina in the true stories of six New Orleanians who
survived the storm. A.D. follows each of the six from the hours
before Katrina struck to its horrific aftermath. Here is Denise,
a sixth-generation New Orleanian who will experience the chaos
of the Superdome; the Doctor, whose unscathed French Quarter
home becomes a refuge for those not so lucky; Abbas and his
friend Mansell, who face the storm from the roof of Abbas’s
family-run market; Kwame, a pastor’s son whose young life will
remain wildly unsettled well into the future; and Leo, a
comic-book fan, and his girlfriend, Michelle, who will lose
everything but each other.”

Bryant. "The Hurricane."
Lord of the winds! I
feel thee nigh,
I know thy breath in the burning sky!
And I wait, with a thrill in every vein,
For the coming of the hurricane!
feel thee nigh,
I know thy breath in the burning sky!
And I wait, with a thrill in every vein,
For the coming of the hurricane!
And lo! on the wing of the heavy gales,
Through the boundless arch of heaven he sails;
Silent and slow, and terribly strong,
The mighty shadow is borne along,
Like the dark eternity to come;
