The park and surrounding town of Fairfax Station Virginia set the landscape for the book, where the narrator regularly encounters spectral visions of wounded soldiers and very real artifacts of war-- \"wounded wraiths and faceless shapes\" float in her hallway at night, and bullet shells, buttons, and human bones surface around the soccer fields in daylight. The narrator turns to poetry and history to make sense of the town and its bloodshed, of its forever attachment to injustice and its inability to restore erased identities. \u003ci\u003eTeam Photograph\u003c\/i\u003e is a journey from research to illumination, and the result is a tender yet powerful reckoning of time and place, proof that the past and the present are inexorably fused together.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLauren Haldeman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eInstead of Dying\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the 2017 Colorado Prize for Poetry), \u003ci\u003eCalenday\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Eccentricity is Zero\u003c\/i\u003e.
