KATIE LEE: Friend, Supporter, Advocate, Artist

For 30 years Katie Lee has been fighting for the rights of the natural places that have woven their way into her heart. She is one of the few people who can claim to have known intimately the miles of Colorado river that were flooded by the construction of the Glenn Canyon Dam. Animas Riverkeeper feels fortunate to be able to call her a friend and supporter. In her books and songs Katie Lee expresses the love for free flowing rivers that is felt by those who have had the opportunity to experience the wonders that rivers have to offer. You can order copies of Katies Books, Music, and Posters at http://www.glencanyon.org/katielee/katiestore.php.

“My trips through Glen Canyon and the river that ran through it changed my life—gave me an understanding of myself, my talent and its limitations; taught me about intimacy and the value of observation. Together they resurrected my spirit and melted my heart with their beauty; showed me time was not my enemy, and with their power to entertain, mystify, and nearly kill me, diluted my ego to its proper consistency. For all my wandering the Glen gave me roots as tenacious as the willows along its banks.”
-Katie Lee

Addtionally, she has written an entirely new Afterward -- looking back at Glen Canyon's past and forward to it's future.

"Katie Lee is a joyful raconteur, a woman with grit, grace and humor. She is not afraid to laugh and tease, cajole and flirt, cuss, rant, howl, sing and cry. Katie Lee is the desert’s lover, her voice is a torch in the wilderness." - Terry Tempest Williams

Sandstone Seduction, 2004

Introduction by Ellen Meloy
In Sandstone Seduction, Katie Lee collects her most creative writing, written over her lifetime, telling us about the events that shaped her life, and her encounters with water and rock. As always, her writing is deeply personal, remarkably candid, and abundantly frank. Katie Lee speaks her mind; she does not hold back. She’s been listening to the water and absorbing its lessons for more than fifty years; she knows well that we have a lot to learn from rivers about the flow of our lives.
