Publisher Notes
The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry gathers one hundred poems written between 1957 and 1996. Chosen by the author, these pieces have been selected from each of nine previously published collections. Berry's is a prophetic voice. With quiet insistence, he advocates restoring our American culture through a renewed respect for the natural world. His poems have particular resonance for people in the rural heartland, especially farmers and residents of small communities who appreciate the care with which Berry tends his own land and the support he lends to his family and neighbors. Yet his work is embraced with equal devotion by urban dwellers who have never driven a tractor or milked a cow. Focusing on themes that have occupied his work for years -- land and nature, family and community, tradition as the groundwork for life and culture -- The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry celebrates the broad range of this vital and transforming poet.
