Farming and gardening in the rich
southern soil is the thematic inspiration for this volume of verse
featuring close to 100 poets--Wendell Berry, Henry Taylor, Andrew Glaze,
Robert Morgan, Nikki Giovanni, John Crowe Ransom, James Applewhite, C.D.
Wright, Rodney Jones, Robert Penn Warren, Naomi Shihab Nye, and many
more.
Praise for Working the Dirt:
I dare anyone who loves the soil and great
poetry to pick up this book for a quick browse--an impossible feat.
--Sharon Lovejoy, contributor to Country Living Gardener and
author of Trowel and Error: Over 700 Shortcuts, Tips & Remedies for
the Gardener.
A collection that brings back...that sharp
sense of personal history, redolent of smokehouse and battlefield, for
which the South is noted.
-- David Ray, author of Endless Search
