Essayist, novelist, and poet, Wendell Berry has written more than thirty books. He lives and works in his native Kentucky with his wife, Tanya Berry, and their children and grandchildren.
"Stern but compassionate, author Wendell Berry raises broader
issues that environmentalists rarely focus on.... In one sense
Berry is the voice of a rural agrarian tradition that stretches
from rural Kentucky back to the origins of human civilization. But
his insights are universal because "Our Only World" is filled with
beautiful, compassionate writing and careful, profound
thinking."—Associated Press
"Asking hard questions and providing even harder answers, Berry
never disappoints. Our Only World is worth a nice, slow,
contemplative read."—Circe Institute
"Even at age 80, Wendell Berry continues to be one of the most
compelling social critics of our age. This new collection of essays
enhances the basic themes of his previous work, including local
economies, conservation of energy, and opposition any powers that
destroy land, creatures, and human life. If you are weary of the
injustice embedded in daily American life, Berry offers here not
easy answers, but rather a vision of a rich and sustainable way of
life." —Relevant Mag
""Our Only World" is quintessential Berry....When you pick up this
volume, be prepared to spend some time with it because the Big
Ideas it holds within its pages are ones you will ruminate on for a
long, long time to come." —Leo Weekly
