Another Turn of the Crank

“A Kentucky farmer and writer, and perhaps the great moral essayist of our day, Berry has produced one of his shortest but also most powerful volumes.” —The New York Review of Books

“The rarest (and highest) of literary classes consist of that small group of authors who are absolutely inimitable … One of the half–dozen living American authors who belongs in this class is Wendell Berry.” —Los Angeles Times

“Berry is a philosopher, poet, novelist, and an essayist in the tradition of Emerson and Thoreau … like Thoreau, he marches to a different drummer, a drummer we would do well to be aware of, if not to march to.” —San Francisco Chronicle

WENDELL BERRY, an essayist, novelist, and poet, has been honored with the T. S.
