Be still and listen to the voices that belong to the streambanks and the trees and the open fields.

The Disreputable BedeI watched an interview with Wendell Berry on YouTube last night and wept. It wasn't just one thing. I spent the last year reading all of his novels and short stories and felt that I knew this man. I knew what he meant, and I felt it, too.

Trina Corey<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/poetryforhardtimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poetryforhardtimes</a> The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell BerryWhen despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WendellBerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WendellBerry</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/poems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poems</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/poemsforhardtimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#poemsforhardtimes</a>

Barbara J. KingOver at <a href="https://press.coop/@NPR" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@NPR</a> I have reviewed the new volume of poetry by Wendell Berry. I have long adored Berry's fiction series set in Port William, Kentucky, and now, I'm captivated by his poetry about the land, nature, family, love, and resisting the pull to disappear into our phone/computer screens.

Forrest BrownI started listening to The Unsettling of America by <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/WendellBerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WendellBerry</a> on audiobook and it’s so good. I’ll try to share some quotes later if I have time. I bought the book when I was in college but it went a little over my head at the time and I couldn’t get into it. Nick Offerman narrates the audiobook, though, and it’s really good. Wendell Berry still seems wildly under-appreciated to me, and I’ll never understand why. <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/environmentalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmentalism</a> <a href="https://theatl.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainability</a>

The Disreputable BedeI've been reading Wendell Berry for the last year. Just getting started with the Port William Fellowship novels. Two down, and a lot more to go. For those who don't know, Berry is an essayist and novelist in rural Kentucky. He's a big proponent of people getting back to the land and living sustainably. His fiction focuses on normal people doing normal things. Nothing flashy. The novels are slow reads and I feel replicate the slow pace of life in the countryside. What resonates most with me is the love of the land that many of the protagonists exhibit. Husbandry of land and animals. To care for and steward a piece of land so that your involvement is a net benefit to society, and the flora and fauna that share the space. Berry never addresses the fact that all the land used to be stewarded by native Americans. At least, not in the writing that I've come across so far. I wonder if anyone knows his viewpoint on that? <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/wendellberry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wendellberry</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sustainability</a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/homesteading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homesteading</a>

Keith D Johnson1/ <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/WendellBerry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WendellBerry</a> wrote: "There is, then, a politics of <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> that, like any politics, involves our freedom. We still (sometimes) remember that we cannot be free if our minds and voices are controlled by someone else. But we have neglected to understand that we cannot be free if our food and its sources are controlled by someone else. The condition of the passive consumer of food is not a democratic condition. One reason to eat responsibly is to live free.But if there is a food politics, there are also a food esthetics and a food ethics, neither of which is dissociated from politics. Like industrial sex, industrial eating has become a degraded, poor, and paltry thing. Our kitchens and other eating places more and more resemble filling stations, as our homes more and more resemble motels." <a href="https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-pleasures-of-eating/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/the-pleasures-of-eating/</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#permaculture</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>
