Description

Along Texas roadways rest thousands of contemplative shrines, usually marked by small, white metal crosses.

Largely a phenomenon of the Texas culture, these storied memorials are invitations to pause, to pay att ention, to ponder the meaning of life and death. Anchored by the stunning photography of roadside memorials by Dan Streck, this landmark book allows four poets to respond to the visual summons of roadside memorials with lyric intensity and eloquent ekphrasis: Larry D.

Th omas, Jack B. Bedell, Sarah Cortez, and Loueva Smith. Graphic designer Nancy J. Parsons brings her award-winning skills to perfectly meld photography with poetry in this gorgeous volume.
