The Peace of Wild Things: And Other Poems by Wendell Berry (English) Paperback B

Description: The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry Joyous, sensuous, radical- a slim volume of Wendell Berrys best-loved poems to console and delightIf you stop and look around you, youll start to see.Tall marigolds darkening. A spring wind blowing. The woods awake with sound. On the wooden porch, your love smiling. Dew-wet red berries in a cup. On the hills, the beginnings of green, clover and grass to be pasture. The fowls singing and then settling for the night. Bright, silent, thousands of stars.You come into the peace of simple things.From the author of the compelling and luminous essays of The World-Ending Fire comes a slim volume of poems. Tender and intimate, these are consoling songs of hope and of healing; short, simple meditations on love, death, friendship, memory and belonging. They celebrate and elevate what is sensuous about life, and invite us to pause and appreciate what is good in life, to stop and savour our fleeting moments of earthly enjoyment. And, when fear for the future keeps us awake at night, to come into the peace of wild things.
