Beschrijving

In Walking Lorton Bluff, Paul Stroble travels to a cemetery in rural Illinois to visit the grave of his great-great-grandfather, killed in 1859 while hunting. In these poems–to be read in sequence–the author daydreams as he walks among the graves and experiences the peacefulness of nature. Dates on tombstones remind him of historical events, from antebellum America to the Holocaust, the Civil Rights movement, and to our own time. The author reflects on the interconnectedness of all things that calls us to care–for the natural world, and for one another.
