The Speaking Stone: Stories Cemeteries Tell

The Speaking Stone: Stories Cemeteries Tell is a literary love letter to the joys of wandering graveyards. Cincinnati resident Michael Griffith began taking daily jaunts to Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum, the nation’s third-largest cemetery following curiosity and accident wherever they led. The result is this fascinating collection of essays that emerge from chance encounters with an interesting headstone, odd epitaph, unusual name, or quirk of memory and stories of race, feminism, art, and death.
