“A straightforward search for a life connected to the soil, for
marriage as a sacrament, and family life.” —The New York Times Book
Review
"[Berry's poems] shine with a gentle wisdom of a craftsman who has
thought deeply about the paradoxical strangeness and wonder of
life." —The Christian Science Monitor
"Wendell Berry is one of those rare individuals who speaks to us
always of responsibility, of the individual cultivation of an
active and aware participation in the arts of life, be they those
of composing a poem, preparing a hill for planting, raising a
family, working for the good of oneself and one's neighbors,
loving." —The Bloomsbury Review
