Essayist, social critic, poet, "mad farmer," novelist, teacher, and prophet: Wendell Berry has been called many things, but the broad sweep of his contemporary relevance and influence defies simple labels. With his unique perspective and far-reaching vision, Berry poses complex questions regarding humankind and our relationship to the land, offering simple but profound solutions. Wendell Berry: Life and Work examines this wise and original thinker, appraising his written work and exploring his influence as an activist and artist. Jason Peters assembles a broad variety of writers to illuminate Berry as he is: a complex man of place and community with an astonishing depth of domestic, intellectual, filial, and fraternal attributes. The result is a rich portrait of one of America's most profound and honest thinkers.

Seller's Description:
As New. The 27 essays collected here pay tribute to America's finest agrarian writer: poet, novelist, social critic, and visionary Wendell Berry. Bill McKibben, Scott Russell Sanders, and Eric Freyfogle are among the contributors who explore aspects of the many concerns Berry has so eloquently addressed over four decades: consumerism, war, human-scale agriculture, community, marriage and sexuality, the politics of place. Long-time friends Wes Jackson, Gene Logsdon, Hayden Carruth, and Donald Hall delight us with warm, personal glimpses of the man-his humor, his family, his never-ending correspondence, his love for his Kentucky farm. Berry's Bible-based spirituality and often uneasy relationship with organized religion are discussed by several writers including Jason Peters, who finds in Berry's vision of mind and body an intuitively orthodox, anti-Manichean theology. Over and over, these writers (several of whom choose to reside, like Berry, in out-of-the-way corners of America's heartland) express gratitude to Berry for his profound influence not only on how they think, but how they choose to live their lives. From Barbara Kingsolver's humorous attempts to practice 'The Art of Buying Nothing'-her motto: 'What Would Wendell Do (WWWD)? '-to David Kline's 'How Wendell Berry Single-Handedly Preserved Three Hundred Years of Agrarian Wisdom, ' this book inspires us to pick up Berry's work and read it again and again. 349 pp.
