In these poems written over the past decade Wendell Berry combines plainspoken elegance with deeply felt emotion--this is work of both remembrance and regeneration. Whether writing as son of a dying father or as father of a daughter about to be wed, Berry plumbs the complexities of conflict, grief, loss, and love. He celebrates life from the domestic to the eternal, finding in the everyday that which is everlasting.

4.0 out of 5 stars
where are the awards?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Entries (Paperback)
This book should have been up for some awards. Perhaps the National Book Award? Fans of the often overlooked Wendell Berry and those new to his poetry will certainly cherish this collection. Though Berry occasionally comes very close to slipping into a sappy Christian, Hallmark-like verse in a couple of poems, he does redeem himself with the next poem--most notable "The Vacation."
