Summary

"Farm Ballads" by Will Carleton is a collection of poems that paints a vivid picture of life in rural America during the late 1800s, where farmland meets the human heart. The book uses humor and heartfelt honesty to share stories about love that lasts, love that is lost, and even love that rekindles, like in the tales of Betsey and her partner. More than just romance, the poems explore the everyday struggles and joys of farm families, examining how they raised their children, balanced their books, and managed to find the human spirit's ability to bounce back in the face of any difficulty. With a mix of laughter, memories, and truth, this collection brings readers into a world where farms are not just places, but homes filled with human drama.
