New Collected Poems

Here, Wendell Berry revisits for the first time his immensely popular Collected Poems, which The New York Times Book Review described as "e;a straightforward search for a life connected to the soil, for marriage as a sacrament, and family life"e; and "e;[returns] American poetry to a Wordsworthian clarity of purpose."e; In 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 "e;a sophisticated, philosophical poet in the line descending from Emerson and Thoreau . . . a major poet of our time."e;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 Prize, 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 "e;Berry has become ever more prophetic,"e; clearly standing up to the test of time.
