Alton Gordon, poet and spoken work artist, is a resident of the Ken Knight Drive community that was heavily impacted by Hurricane Irma. His work describes the impact of the storm, mucking out people’s homes, creating mountains of debris that contained people’s personal items, furniture – the objects of living. Gordon has said many times, “I am more than this crisis,” reminding us all of his talent, his history, and his humanity.
