LOG LUNCH: LIFE AFTER DEAD POOL: Glen Canyon Rises: The Colorado River and the Resurrection of America’s Lost National Park. Zak Podmore, award-winning author and journalist.
In his new book Life After Dead Pool, journalist Zak Podmore brings to life the magnificent terrain of canyon country and its complex water politics, presenting an ultimately hopeful portrait of a Colorado River on the brink of rebirth. In the words of the New York Times, Podmore shows how climate change in the Southwest offers the “opportunity for a more sustainable future.”
Zak Podmore is an award-winning author and journalist who has spent more than a decade writing about water and conservation issues in the western United States. He is the author of two books published by Torrey House Press, Confluence: Navigating the Personal & Political on Rivers of the New West (2019) and Life After Dead Pool: Lake Powell’s Last Days and the Rebirth of the Colorado River (2024). Zak is the recipient of the Ellen Meloy Fund for Desert Writers award and was the Entrada Institute’s writer-in-residence in 2023. Until recently, Zak was the southern Utah reporter for The Salt Lake Tribune. He lives in Bluff, Utah.
“A journalist explores how climate change and design flaws in the Colorado River’s Glen Canyon Dam are leading to the death of a major reservoir. The twist: It could offer the opportunity for a more sustainable future.”
