I have just learned that Barbra has been donating all proceeds from Disking Deep to the Katrina Reconstruction Fund for the working team going from Santa Ynez Presbyterian Church. This team is dedicated to helping in Barbra’s home town of Gulfport, Mississippi and the Gulfcoast for the next three to five years.
To support Barbra in this effort, FootHills Publishing will start contributing a third of any future book sales of Disking Deep to the same fund. Disking Deep will shortly be going into a second printing.

From the book:
Disking Deep
At winter's end the earth lays cold glazed with frost a tangle of dried weeds, stubble, rotting roots, rock.
Day after day the plow rotates metal blades slices skin, splits muscles shatters bones heaves to the surface hidden blood, bitter springs.
Disking deep until rough fresh order rests, the earth broken open ready for seed.
