Bethany Eden Jacobson moved across the street from the Green-Wood Cemetery over a decade ago
and has been photographing it ever since. Green-Wood, founded in 1838, was a leader in the
Rural Cemetery movement in America. Its 478 acres encompass magnificent grounds,
grand architecture, and world-class statuary.
"Ode To A Cemetery" was published in November, 2024 by Hirmer Verlag with text by poet Cole Swensen.
Available at select bookstores including, Rizzoli and the Museum of Modern Art.
