STILL WISH YOU WERE HERE: More Adventures in Cemetery Travel

The essays contained in the second installation of Loren Rhoads’s Adventures in Cemetery Travel series STILL WISH YOU WERE HERE are deeply immersive and visceral tales that drop the reader directly into the worlds that Rhoads herself has tiptoed through and gently touched. Each essay could confidently stand on its own in the most prestigious of travel magazines, while its qualities as a lyric essay are poetic enough to secure it just as well a place in a talented literary journal. But most importantly, each essay, with its inspiration to the reader’s five senses and tugging of the reader’s heartstrings, will leave readers feeling emotional, inspired, and eager for connection, perhaps even on their own journeys into the past via their community’s nearest gravesite. Part history lesson and historical observation, part travel writing and travel memoir, and part personal memoir, STILL WISH YOU WERE HERE contains something for anyone eager for human connection.
