Industry Reviews
[Berry] spends Sunday mornings in walking meditation in the forests and fields around his Port Royal, KY, farm. During these walks he writes, and he has brought many of these poems together in the present volume. Berry has long been an articulate and passionate defender of the environment, and his 'Sabbath poems' . . . bring the reader close to the earth, the fields and flowers, richness of the soil, and diversity of the seasons: 'Too late for frost, too early for flies,/ the air carries only birdsong, the long/ breath of wind in leaves.' . . . These poems are not uniformly pastoral; Berry reflects, too, on war, technology, and the economy in these pages, but always with a heartfelt devotion first and foremost for the earth. A contemplative treasure; highly recommended.
