New Collected Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781619021525)

A stunning poetry collection from the revered Kentucky poet--featuring nearly 200 poems from his immensely popular collection, plus selections from the critically lauded Entries, Given, and Leavings

"A straightforward search for a life connected to the soil, for marriage as a sacrament, and family life." --New York Times Book Review

In New Collected Poems, Berry reprints the nearly 200 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 40 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, Booklist has written that, "Berry has become ever more prophetic," clearly standing up to the test of time.
