Grave Matters

by Dietrich Christian Lammerts and Mark C. Taylor

"Cemeteries", writes Mark C. Taylor, "are where I go to commune with 'my' ghosts. The journey to the cemetery is always solitary even when I am with people who are closest to me. In the graveyard, the we is dispersed and the I stripped bare." In Grave Matters, Taylor's ghosts become our own. His thoughtful, poignant essay interweaves personal narrative, historical analysis, cultural commentary and philosophical reflection.

Grave Matters

If you are a cemetery walker like I am, you will like this book. It's beautiful photographed in black and white. Graves I'll never get to see in my lifetime that I would love to see. It's a great conversation piece too. I love cemeteries, and I think alot of other people do too.
