New Collected Poems -- Wendell Berry

<b>Here, Wendell Berry revisits for the first time his immensely popular <i>Collected Poems</i>, which <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> described as "a straightforward search for a life connected to the soil, for marriage as a sacrament, and family life" and "[returns] American poetry to a Wordsworthian clarity of purpose." <p/></b>In <i>New Collected Poems</i>, Berry reprints the nearly two hundred pieces in <i>Collected Poems</i>, along with the poems from his most recent collections--<i>Entries</i>, <i>Given</i>, and <i>Leavings</i>--to create an expanded collection, showcasing the work of a man heralded by <i>The Baltimore Sun</i> as "a sophisticated, philosophical poet in the line descending from Emerson and Thoreau . . . a major poet of our time." <p/>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, <i>Booklist</i> has written that Berry has become ever more prophetic, clearly standing up to the test of time.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Wendell Berry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Counterpoint LLC<br><b>Published:</b> 04/09/2013<br><b>Pages:</b> 352<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.10lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.30d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 97816
