A beautiful and poignant ode to the changing landscapes and shifting values of rural America as seen through the eyes of American novelist, poet, and activist Wendell Berry. One of our most eloquent defenders of agrarian life, in 1965 Berry bought and moved to a farm in rural Kentucky, where he writes on a long wooden desk overlooking the land. Author of more than 40 beloved books of essays, poetry, and fiction (notably short stories and novels about the town of Port William), he has invited untold numbers of readers into his view of a life deeply rooted in the land. Look & See is a visually stunning ode to a changing cultural landscape, using rare photographs and wood engravings to explore the graceful intersection between art, life, and the natural world.
Join us for a reception and book sale following the discussion. Contributing author Mary Berry will be on hand to sign copies of Letters to a Young Farmer, the first book from Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture.
