Internationally acclaimed artist, Sally Mann, named America's Best' photographer in 2001 by Time magazine, offers this deeply felt meditation on morality.

I am a big fan of Sally Mann, but not of this book. I love reading and looking at death. One of my favorite pastimes are dark novels, that and walking in beautiful cemeteries. I prefer a good Catholic cemetery to any of them really. The more limestone monoliths the better. But Sally failed me here, or perhaps I am just not sophisticated enough in order to "get it". There wasn't one photograph or poem that got to me. Not one. The text was lacking too. Very disappointed in this piece of work. (
