Someone from the Kurt Vonnegut museum in Indiana reached out after buying the 5.5″x8″ version of this poster and I ended up donated a stack of these prints for them to use as fundraisers and gifts. It was a big honor! This is the new, larger format, 24″ x 36″ version of the poster and it is very imposing at this scale.

Slaughter House 5 is a masterpiece about time and life and war crimes (and other things). This phrase, “So it goes” is stated every time death is encountered in the story.

And it is that… As the book progresses however, and we find ourselves reading that line after every instance of death and dying, the words take on more meaning, they become a moment of reverence… A pause to contemplate death before moving on… A short prayer.
