A Small Porch: Sabbath Poems 2014 and 2015 by Wendell Berry

3.75

The poetry was good, but I think the essay "The Presence of Nature in the Natural World: A Long Conversation"—in which Berry traces a certain conception of nature from Alan of Lille's The Plaint of Nature through Chaucer, Spenser, Piers Plowman, Milton, Pope, and Wordsworth through to the present—is the real gem of the collection.
