Description
-
Housed in a white paper folder with circular title label closure; title transcribed from text printed on the inside of the folder. ; I have spent hours photographing headstones of American veterans, using their family names to write about war and peace. The sheer number of individuals who have dedicated their efforts, and in many cases given their very lives is extraordinarily moving. Several of the graves documented in this book date back to the Civil War and the beginnings of our national cemetery system, and some are as recent as this year, 2013. Bea Nettles--On folder.
-
Photographs of last names from headstones that can be used as parts of speech, arranged to form poetic sentences or phrases. A dos-à-dos binding; the words appear on the recto only of one sheet, which is folded accordion style and attached at each end to a board; one board has title label Hawk and the other has title label Dove. The hawkish phrases appear on one half of the sheet; but the book must be reversed to read the more peaceful phrases which appear on the lower half of the sheet.
