Review “A simple poem, written nearly three decades ago about the Plain people of the Pennsylvania Dutch region, was the impetus and is now the centerpiece of a book by celebrated illustrator Thomas Locker. Merle Good's "Song of a People" was chosen to represent the Amish spirit, paired with an illustration of the Lancaster countryside, in Locker's book, Home: A Journey Through America. ..Good's poem shares pages with writing by Willa Cather, Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg. Henry David Thoreau and Eloise Greenfield also are included, as well as writing by Washington Irving and Abraham Lincoln.” –Ramble’s Cultural Art Magazine.
