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

4.0

A beautiful Kentucky read, with sharp poetry and thoughtful ruminations on nature and being and our Creator.

The long essay at the end was very interesting, but Berry focused solely on works by English authors on the relationship between humans and nature. There are so so many approaches to conservation, land-based subsistence practices, and local responses to climate change that I wish he would’ve brought another angle into the discussion.

Thanks to Lydia for the lovely and lively read!
