Book of Plough

A farmer with an extraordinary gift for language and a writer with the field still fresh in his boots, Isherwood is irresistibly compelling. His writing is possessed by poetry. As he moves effortlessly from the profound to the practical, he turns over the ordinary experiences of farm life with the same steady, inexhaustible pace that he ploughs the fertile underbelly of spring sod. His writing will stop you in your tracks, leaving you breathless in the wake of a fresh furrow as he carries on about his work.
