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. 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. These poems can take the shape of manifestos, meditations, insults, Whitmanic fits, and ravings-which are often funny in spite of them- selves. The Mad Farmer is a character as necessary, perhaps, as he is regrettable. Gathered here are the individual poems from Berry’s various collections to offer the teachings and bitcheries of this amazing American voice. More (both new and previously read ) titles and a boatload of New-England specific books (literally hundreds) both old and new and hart-to-find.
