Maine native and poet Andrea Gibson said, “Forests may be gorgeous but there is nothing more alive than a tree that learns how to grow in a cemetery” — a seemingly strange sentiment to those who view cemeteries only as a place to honor the dead. Loren Rhoads has long found beauty in cemeteries. Her Cemetery Travel blog has captured her cross-country and international visits to cemeteries. Her new book, “199 Cemeteries to See Before You Die,” records these places of peace, tranquility and art as a beautiful guide full of pictures and revealing stories about the famous — and the not-so famous — laid to rest all around the world. "199 Cemeteries to See Before You Die" is our November selection for “Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.”
