Tuesday Night Talk
October 31, 6:30 pm
On Halloween night, join us for Steve Skafte, author of “The Dead Die Twice: Abandoned Cemeteries of Nova Scotia”. Come and hear Steve speak about his adventures uncovering the countless derelict cemeteries scattered through the woods of Nova Scotia. The long-lost dead of his homeland linger on like ghosts in nature, remembered in faded stories and names etched in stone. They are the everyday history that make us up – the joy and life, loss and death, pain and pandemics of the past. With the whole world wrapped up in the big picture, a little one waits to be noticed.
Steve Skafte is a writer and photographer from Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, where he's lived all his life. Since he turned twenty in 2007, he's kept and shared an uninterrupted daily journal online, with stories and adventures from all over the wilds of the province — and how it felt to be there. Much of his time is wrapped up in finding forgotten human history that has been left behind in the woods.
Copies of Steve’s book will be available for purchasing and signing.
