In his introduction to the 2014 collection, Bates wrote: "As our society moves toward urbanization, the majority of the population views agriculture from an increasingly detached position . . . In his poetry [Berry] reveals tenderness and love as well as anger and uncertainty . . . The wood engravings in this collection are intended to be companion pieces to . . . the way he expresses what it is to be a farmer."
