Welcome to Litsy!

I zoned out a bit while listening to the audiobook so my review is not to be trusted!

American cemeteries have inspired landscape architecture, poets like Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson, and famous parks like Disneyland. They‘re also potent political tools & symbols, from Arlington to the separate African American Graveyard at Monticello. The strange, surprising story of the American cemetery comes alive in this tour across the country, from Savannah to Sleepy Hollow to Hollywood, with a journalist/veteran/grave digger at the wheel!

The covers of these two books look a bit alike but that‘s a coincidence. I hope to read both of them and am on audio still listening to The People in the Trees.

A bonafide game changer!

I love a good Shakespeare reference. After Trump‘s meeting with Putin and disastrous news conference, John Bolton told Republican Senator Roy Blunt that Putin will always be Putin and took the opportunity to make this reference to Hamlet. #thedivider #vladimirputin #donaldtrump #peterbaker #susanglasser #ushistory #internationalpolitics #worldhistory #politicalscience #russia #unitedstates #johnbolton #hamlet

Sometimes, I just laugh at some of the things Trump says because there‘s nothing else I can do. This is one of those times. #thedivider #peterbaker #susanglasser #kimjongun #internationalpolitics #donaldtrump #internationalpolitics #politicalscience #history #worldhistory #negotiations #summit #northkorea #unitedstates
