Ripening

Poetry. "RIPENING is a full landscape of poems packed with live beings dancing to the tunefulness of change. These true poems show an America before Agribiz: men, boys, a few acutely cherished girls, all workers, enduring winter till it topples over into spring among wells and woodlots in their strenuous beauty, harsh and worthy. Hunter's call and recall of an unmechanized world is visionary and realistic." Marie Ponsot"
