Wendell Berry

Utne Reader

Wendell Berry is an old-fashioned, sometimes curmudgeonly moralist who rejects cyber culture and finds soul in the soil. His message -- if you care about the world, you've got to take care of it. A Kentucky tobacco farmer, conservationist, and professor of English and creative writing, Berry is the author of fiction, poetry and essays, including The Gift of Good Land, The Unsettling of America and Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community.
