An Ocean of Memory and Cemetery Evocations
A long reflective feature blends poetry on time and nature with a historical essay on New York area cemeteries and burial practices, recounting relics, civic changes, and the fate of urban graveyards. It moves through Greenwo od Cemetery lore, Paris interments, and a Brooklyn ground’s transformation amid 19th century urban growth.
