Bea Nettles: "Recently I have photographed the last names of veterans in national cemeteries. My latest book is a dos-a-dos (a reversible book telling two stories) that contains poems about war & peace written with these names. The text mirrors itself in places, including contrasting images of real battles (war)and pillow battles (peace)."  Colophon: "The sheer number of individuals who have dedicated their efforts, and in many cases given their very lives, is extraordinarily moving. Several of the graves documented in this book date back to the Civil War and the beginnings of our national cemetery system, and some as recent as this year, 2013.
