The project ranges from the burial grounds of family members to the gravesites of architects in Chicago to Arlington National Cemetery and the 9/11 Memorial Museum. Through the lens of each of these places, an attempt at the greater understanding of memory, grief, loss, and what it all means is brought through the eyes of the author.masters thesesenAmanda GanusCreative writingCreative nonfictionEssayCemeteryTextCreative writingEssayCreative nonfictionCemetery
