(“W.C.” of Rural Neck, Kentucky in a letter to “Farmers Home Journal – 1892”) ― Wendell Berry, The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture

Simon Says: Daily Food Quote, June 15, 2011

Published by Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Permalink 0

by Simón de Swaan

A significant part of the pleasure of eating is in one’s accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which the food comes.–Wendell Berry (1934-)

Wendell Berry is a Kentucky poet, novelist, essayist, philosopher and farmer. He has always remained close to the land, continuing to farm on his family farm, and this is reflected in much of his work. His most well known book, The Unsettling of America, provides a classic critique of industrial agriculture which is foundational to today’s agrarianism and a precursor of the Slow Food movement and the current food revolution taking place in the U.S.

The American Poetry Foundation says of Berry: “Critics and scholars have acknowledged Wendell Berry as a master of many literary genres, but whether he is writing poetry, fiction, or essays, his message is essentially the same: humans must learn to live in harmony with the natural rhythms of the earth or perish.”
