Reflections on the passing of writer Wendell Berry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The notable poet Wendell Berry died in August. You might have missed that for a variety of reasons. For one, his passing may have been eclipsed by death of some other high-profile people. Dolly Parton, Gloria Steinem and Tim Curry all took their final bows and the accolades were raucous. The Missourianâs Opinion section is a public forum for the discussion of ideas.
