Remembering

San Francisco: Counterpoint, 1988. First Edition, Advance reader's copy. Paperback. 125pp. Octavo [21 cm] Red wrappers with printed title. Near fine. Spine lightly sunned. A novel by the Kentucky poet farmer in his ongoing Port Williams Fellowship. It is 1976 and Andy Catlett, farmer and agricultural journalist, is walking the streets of San Francisco at dawn. In the eight months since losing his right hand to a corn-picking machine, he has also lost himself. Two thousand miles from his home in Kentucky, he begins to remember people, the land, and the comfort of knowing his place intimately. Andy's reveries evoke a membership governed by the principles of humanity and love. Inspiring and eye-opening, Remembering follows Andy's journey out of darkness and into the warm light of community.
