Leavings: Poems | Wendell Berry
5 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
No one writes like Wendell Berry. Whether essay, novel, story, or poem, his inimitable voice rings true, as natural as the land he has farmed in Kentucky for over 40 years. Following the widely praisedGiven, this new collection offers a masterful blend of epigrams, elegies, lyrics, and letters, with the occasional short love poem. Alternately amused, outraged, and resigned, Berrys welcome voice is the constant in this varied mix. The book concludes with a new sequence of Sabbath poems, works that have spawned from Berrys Sunday morning walks of meditation and observation. Berrys themes are reflections of his life: friends, family, the farm, the nature around us as well as within. He speaks strongly for himself and sometimes for the lost heart of the country. As he has borne witness to the world for eight decades, what he offers us now in this new collection of poems is of incomparable value.

#tarottakeover The 3 of ⚔️ is heartache, sorrow, & grief 🖤 my deepest fear is losing those I love 🖤however, I refuse to be so afraid of losing something I won‘t allow myself to have it. I may have anxiety, but I also have courage 💪

Yes, I am the guy who bought a book of Wendell Berry poems and then went to see XXX: The Rise of Xander Cage.

Although the subject matter is sometimes repetitious, this is a compelling, deeply religious book of poems for lovers of poems and lovers of nature!
