This collection of Wendell Berry's Sabbath Poems embrace much that is elemental to human life--beauty, death, peace, and hope

In his preface to A Timbered Choir, Berry writes about the audience for public poetry readings. While he sees poetry in the public eye as a good thing, Berry asks us to recognize the private life of the poem. These Sabbath Poems were written in silence, in solitude, and mainly out of doors, and tell us about moments when heart and mind are open and aware.

Berry is beloved for his quiet, steady explorations of nature, his emphasis on finding good work to do in the world, and his faith in the solace of family, memory, and community. His poetry is assured and unceasingly spiritual; its power lies in the strength of the truths revealed.
