Life in Death Elizabeth Hurd

This collection of poems are centered on the Pine Ridge Cemetery in Bay City, MI. Themes of love, grief, equality, and Victorian Graveyard Symbolism run through the poems, creating a poetic narrative meant to honor the lives of those laid to rest in the cemetery and those who work hard to keep Pine Ridge's memory alive in the present day. Life in Death: The Ghosts of Pine Ridge is a companion to a historical account of the Pine Ridge Cemetery: Abandoned but Not Forgotten, Etched in Stone: The Story of Bay County's Pine Ridge Cemetery by Chelsea Burg.
