poems for daily reflections

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love randomly opening the book to a poem and reading it as a reflection or as a discussion point with my husband. The selected poems are of various lengths so that it is easy to locate one that is just the right size. I recommend this book.

Another "keeper" for me.

I can't seem to help it, but ... I really have liked & enjoyed every book of Berry's that I've read (I believe the total is now 4 books of his). Maybe part of it's because I'm getting to be a bit of a doddering old man myself, at this point. Also, he sorta/kinda lives just up the road ... he's in KY and I live in mid-TN, not too far from him. I love the way he seems to have done deep thinking on nature and spiritual matters ... 2 of my personal favorites.

Berry is adept with the evocative phrase

July 31, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I first encountered Berry's poetry as an epigraph in Cornelia Funke's "Inkheart" series and was captivated by "The Peace of Wild Things." Intrigued, I bought a volume of his verse and was not disappointed.

He sets the tone of the collection with the bucolic "The Apple Trees." Throughout this poem and the rest of the book, he weaves the threads of his writing into lush tapestries that delight the mind's eye.

In reading his poetry, I was struck once again by the thought that language is one of the true enchantments of this world, able through the simple means of symbols on paper to conjure a universe of images or invoke an emotive response.

Although not every offering in "The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry" attains the same level of beautiful imagery that "The Peace of Wild Things" did, as a whole the author achieves his goal of providing a representation of his work. From the starkness of war to the joy and sorrows of love and loss, Berry proves that he is adept with the evocative phrase.

Wendell Berry writes from the very heart of humanity. I stand quietly in the trees with him as I read his words.

Warm manly wisdom

April 1, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The warm, masculine sensitivity of these poems, deeply rooted in the rhythms of earth and relationship, are a wonderful antidote to the modern fractured world. His writing, simple and accessible, belies a depth of wonder and reflection on daily experience and an openness to growing old. I have traveled almost daily with these poems for over two years now. I return to that voice which fathers me, surrounds me with strong arms of wisdom and comfort, and in the end sets me back down on my feet able to believe again, love again.

Poems that make life more understandable

January 19, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

These poems rival my reading of Psalms, I find the the same wisdom and depth of thought about our lives in these poems. Berry is one of the USA's greatest poets with the clarity of ancient seers. He is so warming to your soul.
