Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-08 00:00:00 Walter Weiss Five stars for In Extremis, an homage to his father. Wrenchingly beautiful. The rest is more love poem than pastoral, though Berry never quite leaves the farm. I finished this sitting outside, just before dawn broke. The reader is quite vulnerable to a personal emotive inventory. Be wary.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-21 00:00:00 Raiden Sanke Often Wendell Berry writes poems that reflect his life on his Kentucky farm, as they reflect a life that has disappeared most elsewhere. Berry is close to the land, both farmed and natural. His poems reflect that intimate knowledge and love. Some of the poems in this collection, especially in Part 2, tell of his protest against the destruction of the natural world by manufactured poisons. These poems, published in 1994, have come to be. These poems are neither subtle nor beautiful. Part 4 is an extended sequence of poems written about his father. For me, this was the heart and soul of the collection.
