Greg Guirard was born in St. Martinville, LA, and moved to the western edge of the Atchafalaya Basin at age two. He has spent most of his life looking for his proper direction, having worked as a school teacher, actor, writer, publisher, photographer, sawmill worker, crewboat driver, crawfisherman, lecturer, farmer, cattleman, Cajun dialog coach, guide and adviser to film crews, and furniture maker.

The environment of the Atchafalaya Basin is at the center of almost everything he does. He has recently published a non-fiction book with 103 bw photographs--PsychoTherapy for Cajuns. His most recent work,Inherit the Atchafalaya, will be available from Greg in early December 2007.

"There's something about being out in the swamp, especially when you're alone, that seems to suck the poisons of civilization out of you, some sort of healing power that lets you begin to be yourself again...."
