Cemetery Trees

Announcing a new little project: my first zine since roughly 1996.

An ode to cemetery trees and their history and folklore, with essays, illustrations, and tid-bits. By me (Bess Lovejoy), Allison C. Meier, Louise Hung, and Landis Blair. 28 pages, perfect bound. Extremely limited first edition (I have 13 copies left!), with possible future printings. Includes tributes to cemetery trees around the world, appreciations of the roles trees plays in cemeteries, and even an obituary for a particular cemetery tree. Buy for $15 (including shipping) at the button below.

Includes a sticker by Landis Blair of the image on the back cover, from a grave at Lone Fir cemetery in Portland, Oregon.

This grave marks the final resting place of Crawford M Dobbins, killed in a steamship explosion in 1854. May the appreciation of cemetery trees lead us all to take better care of each other and the Earth.
