Over Christmas, when I was home visiting my parents in Bethlehem, PA, I trekked over to Nisky Hill and the Public Library to do rubbings of H.D.’s grave and historical marker.

These rubbings were for Steven Reigns and his “The Gay Rub” project, which you can read more about here at Out Traveler and if you’re in L.A. can see during the month of February at ONE Archives Gallery & Museum in WeHo.
