| Description: |
In Wendell Berry's upcoming "The New Collected Poems," the poet revisits for the first time his immensely popular "Collected Poems," which "The New York Times Book Review" described as "a straight-forward search for a life connected to the soil, for marriage as a sacrament and family life" that "affirms a style that is resonant with the authentic," and "[returns] American poetry to a Wordsworthian clarity of purpose." In "The New Collected Poems," Berry reprints the nearly two hundred pieces in "Collected Poems," along with the poems from his most recent collections--"Entries," "Given," and "Leavings"--to create an expanded collection, showcasing the work of a man heralded by "The Baltimore Sun" as "a sophisticated, philosophical poet in the line descending from Emerson and Thoreau . . . a major poet of our time." Wendell Berry is the author of over forty works of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, and has been awarded numerous literary prizes, including the T.S. Eliot Award, a National Institute of Arts and Letters award for writing, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Jean Stein Award, and a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship. While he began publishing work in the 1960s, "Booklist" has written that "Berry has become ever more prophetic," clearly standing up to the test of time. |
