Join us for a public conversation with Wendell Berry at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7th. A pioneering and influential advocate for change, Berry has spent more than 50 years helping to shape the movements for agricultural and ecological sustainability. His poetry and essays flow from the rich agrarian tradition of American writing, and Berry's relationship to his Kentucky farm has been compared to that of Thoreau's to the forest — a place that nurtures his thinking about the value of physical labor, self-sufficiency, and communities of people living in harmony with the natural world. Berry has garnered international honors for his writing, winning the T.S. Eliot Award, the 2000 Poets' Prize, the Thomas Merton Award, the Aiken Taylor Award for Modern American Poetry
