Engravings
The spirit of cemeteries in poetry and prose
Words by Jeffrey Stundel
Photos by Michael Gavin
The poetry, prose and images in Engravings show you that there is more life than death in every cemetery. Photographer Michael Gavin's sensitive and respectful eye captures the sadness, solace and inspiration to be found within their hallowed gates. Author Jeffrey Stundel weaves words within and around each photo, seeking to channel their individual messages of remembrance and regret...and the most important message of all: The dead must stay, while we who visit must leave. And live.
So, come. Walk the paths of the photographs and words within. Pay your respects and pause to reflect. But remember that the greatest respect we can pay to those we have lost is to exit the gate and continue our journey.
