Literary Farmer

February 23, 2009

Seedtime for sonnets.

“As a ‘Literary Farmer,’ and a Real One, Robert Frost Reveled in Planting Time”

“The new seed catalogs are piling up on the kitchen table, we’re meeting this month with friends to organize our separate small gardens into a micro-farm share, and what with all this sunlight pouring down like fertilized hope and the crimson clover gone to nothing in last month’s snows, I’ve been getting the biting urge to get the peas and collards into the ground right now.” Written by David Biespiel.

from The Oregonian
