The Mad Farmer Poems Berry WendellPaperback
During the otherwise quiet course of his life as a poet, Wendell Berry has become "mad" at what contemporary society has made of its land, its communities, and its past. These poems can take the shape of manifestos, meditations, insults, Whitmanic fits and ravings--these are often funny in spite of themselves. This anger reaches its peak in the poems of the Mad Farmer, an open-ended sequence he's found himself impelled to continue against his better instincts.
After the great success of the lovely Window Poems, Bob Baris of the Press on Scroll Road returns to design and produce an edition illustrated with etchings by Abigail Rover. The Mad Farmer is a character as necessary, perhaps, as he is regrettable.Here are gathered the individual poems from Berry's various collections to offer the teachings of this amazing American voice. James Baker Hall and William Kloefkorn offer
