Alvin Turner As Farmer - Softcover

It was 1972 when Alvin Turner first ambled onto the page and charmed his way into the hearts of readers. The voice behind the mask belonged to William Kloefkorn, first-book poet and assistant professor at a small Methodist university on the Plains. Alvin Turner As Farmer was an instant success – the initial printing sold out in weeks – and decades later is a classic of American poetry. In the meantime, Alvin Turner’s creator – now Nebraska State Poet – has gone on to write thirty books, mostly poetry, charming readers the whole long and wonderful way.
