With a voice that oscillates between sorrowful and vivid imagery, Nutter articulates her deep emotional responses, ultimately challenging Whitman's assertion that the fallen fit seamlessly into the landscape. Her work captures the complexities of grief and remembrance, providing a powerful counter-narrative to the glorification of war.
