Welty, Eudora, 1909-2001.
Country churchyards / Eudora Welty.
Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, ©2000.
111 pages : chiefly illustrations ; 21 cm
"This collection includes ninety of her photographs along with a conversation in which Welty shares her impressions and her memories of the 1930s and 1940s when she rambled through Mississippi cemeteries taking these pictures. Just as many pieces of Welty's fiction feature lyrical descriptions of cemeteries in a way that is expressly Weltian, so too do these photographs taken in the cool, sequestered churchyards and graveyards of Jackson, Port Gibson, Churchill, Rodney, Utica, Crystal Springs, Vicksburg, Rocky Springs, and sites near the old Natchez Trace. Accompanying the photographs are selected passages about graveyards and funerals from her fiction ... and from her essay 'Some notes on River County.'"--Jacket.
