| Synopsis: |
James Galvin says in his foreword to Over This Soil, "Read these poems. There is wisdom here. Wisdom says tread lightly. Feel gratitude. Revere the source. Listen to the ancient, loving conversation that, by implication, includes everything -- life, death, growth, nourishment, manners, fear, frustration, love, morality, humility, wonder".As a natural outgrowth from her anthology of contemporary American farm poems, Handspan of Red Earth, editor Catherine Webster has devoted herself over the past years to gathering this collection of farm poems from writers around the world. She has done her work with great energy, thoroughness, skill, and love.Over This Soil urges us to preserve our farmlands, to increase our responsibilities of land stewardship, and to intelligently maintain the agricultural necessities of our lives. It is an important agricultural and literary document for our planet. Just a partial list of the contributors to this volume is the best possible testimony for it. |
