New Collected Poems: Poems, 1964 - 2010

<p><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 €œa straightforward search for a life connected to the soil, for marriage as a sacrament, and family life€ and €œ[returns] American poetry to a Wordsworthian clarity of purpose.€ 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 €œa sophisticated, philosophical poet in the line descending from Emerson and Thoreau . . . a major poet of our time.€</b></p> <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.</p>
