Wendell Berry's Mad Farmer Poems express anger at society's treatment of land and community through a contrarian, humorous voice.
About
Details
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.
