Annotations:
Chaskey's observations reflect a first-hand knowledge of the interdependence of soils, plants, animals and humans. His contagious sense of wonder and artistic sensibility illustrate why planting and reaping are such an important part of what defines the human community.
Publisher's Remarks:
In the tradition of Michael Pollan, Joan Gussow, and Verlyn Klinkenborgas "The Rural Life, This Common Ground" is an inspirational evocation of a life lived close to the earth, written by the head farmer at one of the countryas first community-supported farms. By reflecting on four seasons of activity at his beloved Quail Hill Farm in eastern Long Island, Scott Chaskey offers stirring insight into the connections between land and the human family. Whether writing about the voice of a small wren nesting in the lemon balm or a meadow of oats, millet, and peas rising to silver and green after a fresh rain, this poet-farmeras contagious sense of wonder brings us back to our bond with the soil.
