 wed by Q&A on his entire body of work. TUE, MAY 24, 2011, 7:30 PM Bena
 roya Hall in Seattle.\nCarpooling or train riding encouraged.\nWendell
  is an American giant in his vision of caring for community & for the 
 land.\nSome would say he has held core values that many in the Transit
 ion movement are reaching for.\nEssay: The Idea of a Local Economy (Or
 ganic Consumers Association)\nhttp://www.organicconsumers.org/btc/berr
 y.cfm\n \nIf you haven't read his essays yet, recommended would be on
 es from his books:\n“Citizenship Papers” and “The Unsettling of 
 America: Culture and Agriculture”\n“Critics and scholars have ackn
 owledged Wendell Berry as a master of many literary genres, but whethe
 r he is writing poetry, fiction, or essays, his message is essentially
  the same: humans must learn to live in harmony with the natural rhyth
 ms of the earth or perish.”\n \n\"[Berry] is a novelist, a poet, an
  essayist, a naturalist, and a small farmer. He has embraced the commo
 nplace and has ennobled it.\" —Charles Hudson, Georgia Review\n“I
 t is perhaps Berry's essays that have brought him the broadest readers
 hip. In one of his most popular early collections, The Unsettling of A
 merica: Culture and Agriculture, he argues that agriculture is the fou
 ndation of America's greater culture. He makes a strong case against t
 he U.S. government's agricultural policy, which promotes practices lea
 ding to overproduction, pollution, and soil erosion. Another essay col
 lection, Recollected Essays, 1965-1980, has been compared by several c
 ritics to Henry David Thoreau’s Walden. 

In Sex, Economy, Freed
 om, and Community: Eight Essays, Berry continues to berate those who c
 arelessly exploit the natural environment and damage the underlying mo
 ral fabric of communities.”\n\nFor more information visit https://tr
