Picking up where Orwell left off in Politics and the English Language, Wendell Berry writes about language and culture in these six essays, which take poetry as their focus. In essays with titles like People, Land, and Community and Poetry and Place, Berry zeroes in on the theme that has run through all his writing, whether poetry, fiction, or essays: the interrelationship between people and the communities in which they live.
