Cover; Half title; Title; Copyright; Invocation: A Simple Song of the Life; 1. Fall: Another Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers; 2. Winter: The Eye Don't Lie; 3. Warm: Total Loss Farm.;In making her selection for Pharos Editions, Dana Spiotta tells us how drawn she was by the work of Raymond Mungo.?[He] writes ... about his own joy and his own pain, he is particularly good when he describes the land around him and how it feels on his body."Indeed, if Henry David Thoreau had downed a handful of liberty caps before penning Walden it would have read much like Mungo's Total Loss Farm, a rollicking memoir of the late 1960's back-to-the-earth movement. Written in a limber prose style formed by the tempo of the times, Mungo takes us into the cultural tsunam.
