	The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays of Wendell Berry, Edited and introduced by Norman Wirzba Reviewed by ...
		Berry is a farmer and a moralist, one who speaks with the humble authority of a man who regularly treads ground behind a team of horses.
		Throughout Berry's work comes a strong sense of the narrative persona behind it: A kind and generous man, one at peace with his lot but deeply at odds with the temper of his times, a man of insight and empathy who never retreats into the solace of irony or smug detachment.
		Berry has a poet's ear, which keeps his prose from dissolving into the galumphing polysyllables and hissing sibilants (the "-isms" and "-nesses") that infect abstract subjects in the hands of lesser writers.

	Comment Magazine - "Wendell Berry Revisited:" by Wilma van der Leek
		Questions of scale are uppermost to Berry, but he does not propose, as Greydanus interprets, that we "do away with infrastructure that transcends localities." However, he is always in favour of shortening the distance between producers and consumers, a protectionism he believes is sound and just.
		In Berry's own words, "authentic and responsible thought is not restricted to the local or regional but does depend on the clarity and precision that comes from sustained attention to the particular." It is precisely at this point that specialized, mechanized, corporately based economies are weak.
		Berry's work and writing over the years can be been viewed as a sad litany on the ways in which the human economy lives in conflict rather than in harmony with the economy of nature.
