Plt;bPgt;Plt;bPgt;P#39;He is unlike anybody else writing today ... After Donald TrumpP#39;s election, we urgently need to rediscover the best of radical America.

He began his life as the old times and the last of the old-time people were dying out, and continues to this day in the old ways: a team of work horses and a pencil are his preferred working tools. The writings gathered in Plt;iPgt;The World-Ending Fire Plt;/iPgt;are the unique product of a life spent farming the fields of rural Kentucky with mules and horses, and of the rich, intimate knowledge of the land cultivated by this work. These are essays written in defiance of the false call to progress, and in defence of the local landscapes that provide our cultural heritage, our history, our home.
