 Letter from New York
Eleanor Agnew’s Back From the Land (Ivan R. Dee) - a book that is part memoir and part cultural analysis - provides a balanced, perceptive portrait of the movement.
Eleanor and her husband separated within four years - she seeking creative fulfilment and a steady paycheck by moving back to the city where she ultimately became a professor of writing, while he stayed on in the country.

 Amazon.com: Back from the Land: How Young Americans Went to Nature in the 1970s and Why They Came Back: Books: Eleanor ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In chapters that follow homesteaders to the farms and then back to civilization, Agnew offers a balanced, critical view that conveys both the profound rewards as well as the stresses that the "simple life" brought: the back-breaking work, the nearly universal poverty, the painful naivete, and the broken marriages, including Agnew's own.
It is a quick read, mainly stories of the experiences of the author and her friends who were lured to live "the simple life" "off the grid" in the country.
Back from the Land : How Young Americans Went to Nature in the 1970s, and Why They Came Back details these visionaries and their movements, using the experiences of a woman who lived her subject and interviewed others in the process.

I still haven’t really figured it out but I think it may be that this is one of the centers of the original 60's back to the land movement, and a lot of those people are still here and their kids and grandkids too.

Yet the cubicle can only serve as a reliable, last-ditch lifeline if one began in the cubicle.
There is much to be learned from the Ivanko and Kivirist’s anecdotal advice, and the resource lists all lead to a wealth of carefully chosen texts.
