Pauper's Burial Ground by Rusty Gentry

Pauper's Burial Ground by

This is the cemetery in which the City of Anderson formerly buried those who did not have the money for a private burial. The ironic thing is that, if you look through the trees, you have a glimpse of the cemetery that I posted photos from earlier: easily the most elaborate in Anderson. Incidentally, my great-grandmother is buried under one of those white crosses. This was something of which I was unaware until my mother saw the photo in a Journal entry I published on the site and informed me of the fact.

About Rusty Gentry

I came rather late to poetry and even later to photography. I have graduate degrees in philosophy. I realized sometime ago that nearly all of my work makes some sort of implicit argument, and it often makes rather esoteric references to philosophy. Sorry: not trying to be turgid. It’s what I know, and it what Pan whispers into my ear.

You may find my newer, more formal photography at: http://rbgphoto-rusty.blogspot.com/
Thanks, Rusty
