| Summary: | All Things in Common by Georgia poet Rupert Fike is a vibrant, multi-voiced poetry collection chronicling the rise of the Farm, a 1970s commune in rural Tennessee founded by hippies and activists seeking to redefine the American dream. Through poems that blend social and personal history, Fike captures the idealism, absurdity and raw humanity of a countercultural movement that pushed boundaries, questioned norms and embraced community. With his signature blend of dark humor, tenderness and hopeful vision, Fike invites readers into a world where utopia was improvised, lived and sometimes stumbled over, offering a timely reminder of the enduring power of collective dreaming. |
