Wendell Berry - Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
In the poem Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front, Wendell Berry talks about a return to nature and loving it more than anything. Denouncing society and everything you are supposed to love and embracing what nature has given us. Every line he talks about a different element such as nature, the government, women, a family, and he uses that as a guide for how to love the world and how to do it simply by embracing nature or the farm. He wants us to love the world like he does, and this poem is fairly convincing. After reading it, I think it is one of my favorite poems that I have read this semester.
