Wendell Berry is among my favorite writers - of poetry, short story, novel, essay - and this volume gathers together some of the best poems of his career. If you've heard friends rave about the man's work but haven't yet gotten your feet wet in it, this is a good place to start. Don't read it from cover to cover, but dip in at random spots and splash around a little. (  ) rhowens | Nov 26, 2019 | Berry’s poetry is not as complex or challenging linguistically as the poetry that I usually like to read, and sometimes his curmudgeonly side overshadows his poetic side, but man, these poems are such lovely meditations, and the voice is so consistent and principled in its commitment to environmental stewardship, quiet meditation, and kindness. I found a lot to admire and think about in this book and plan on returning to it often. (  ) jalbacutler | Apr 20, 2018 | Wendell Berry is one of the more under-rated poets of the last 50 years. His new collection of his best over that time demonstrates time and again his deep connection with the land, his profound but complex religious faith, and his lyrical ear. His poems can be read and appreciated by those who regularly read verse and those who seldom do. That accessibility and his impatience with artifice in poetry or politics may suggest why some in the academic world ignore or disparage his writing. The later collections are not as strong as those from 1994 and before. His elegies, especially the one for his grandfather, are haunting and universal. I highly recommend living with this collection for a while. (  ) dasam | Jul 25, 2017 | Love Wendell Berry fiction and now his poetry! Whether you agree with is personal views or not,his poetry is beautiful. ( ) LauGal | Aug 16, 2016 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In New Collected Poems, Berry reprints the nearly two hundred pieces in Collected Poems, along with the poems from his most recent collections--Entries, Given, and Leavings--to create an expanded collection, showcasing the work of a man heralded by The Baltimore Sun as "a sophisticated, philosophical poet in the line descending from Emerson and Thoreau . . . a major poet of our time." Wendell Berry is the author of over fifty works of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, and has been awarded numerous literary prizes, including the T. S. Eliot Award, 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, Booklist has written that "Berry has become ever more prophetic," clearly standing up to the test of time.--publisher description.

Still, his absolutist stand against change of all kinds and in all contexts is vastly overwhelmed by the many brilliant pieces in the collection. So four stars it is. (
