By Allison Cobb

Poet Allison Cobb wanders Brooklyn’s famous 19th-century Green-Wood Cemetery and discovers that its 478 acres—hills and ponds, trees and graves—mirror the American landscape: a place marked by greed, war and death, but still pulsing with life. The book is a testament to what survives and an elegy for what is lost, the long dead and the landscape itself, especially those who died in the twin towers and in the United States’ ongoing wars.
