Description
Each of the thrity-five poems in this collection is concerned with our relationship to nature, to all of humanity, and, ultimately, to God and the powers of creation. The farmer and his land, marriage and the family, form the central images. The long title poem, perhaps the finest single work in the book, is a grave, moving, and beautifully wrought love poem. The shorter lyrics have an equal beauty and perfection of phrase. And there is humor, too, notably in several new poems about the "Mad Farmer," who first made his appearance in Farming: A Hand Book, and who advises us here to "every day do something that won't compute."--Harcourt, Brace and Company / Harvest Books.
