review 1: I love Wendell Berry. I have read several of his novels about the Port William membership. I have also read quite a few essays, though I have not extensively worked through many of his non-fiction works. However my introduction and great love for Berry, came to me through his poetry. His Sabbath Poems and and a Timbered Choir, are prized possessions of mine, and I have turned over those poems countless times. Leavings is another great collection which includes his Sabbath poems from 2005-2008. I think I found some new favorites here!
review 2: In turns quiet, exuberant, heartbreaking, and always reflective, Wendell Berry strikes the soul again. Berry is a master of the craft and this new collection of poetry is no exception. While some poems wander through Por
... moret William, the fictional town Berry's novels revolve around, others directly confront current issues surrounding politics, war, automobiles, mountaintop removal, and society's separation from the landscape. Endorsed by my mule, Honeychild, who listened quietly as I read to her. less
