Sampled and enjoyed, especially Part I: "In a country once forested". http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/Content?oid=oid%3A36073 My review of GIVEN: In his 15th collection of poems, Wendell Berry’s precise language combines with affection for his subjects for energizing, spiritual, renewing results. It’s a welcome relief from the white noise of the contemporary American poetry scene. “Sonata at Payne Hollow,” a play-in-verse continuation of Berry’s chronicle of country life, forms the central section. It’s surrounded by shorter poems, many of which are meditations. This is especially true of the poems in the final section, “Sabbaths 1998-2004,” which Berry composed, fittingly enough, on the Sabbath, still taken by some as a day of rest and reflection. His unobtrusive use of form grants these poems an easy grace, fitting for anyone who, like Berry, occasionally “finds that he is smiling / not by his own will.” Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
For five decades Wendell Berry has been a poet of great clarity and purpose. He is an award-winning writer whose imagination is grounded by the pastures of his chosen place and the rooms and porches of his family's home. InGiven, the work is as rich and varied as ever before. With his unmistakable voice as the constant, he dexterously maneuvers through a variety of forms and themes--political cautions, love poems, a play in verse, and a long series of Sabbath Poems that resulted from Berry's recent Sunday morning walks of meditation and observation. Berry's work is one of devotion to family and community, to the earth and her creatures, to the memories of the past, and the hope of the future. His writing stands alongside the work of William Carlos Williams and Robert Frost as a rigorous American testament. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
