Wendell Berry, a quiet and humble man, has become an outspoken advocate for revolution. He urges immediate action as he mourns how America has turned its back on the land and rejected Jeffersonian principles of respect for the environment and sustainable agriculture. Berry warns, “People who own the world outright for profit will have to be stopped; by influence, by power, by us.”
This week on Moyers & Company, Bill Moyers profiles this passionate advocate, a man of the land and one of America's most influential writers, whose prolific career includes more than forty books of poetry, novels, short stories, and essays. This one-on-one conversation was taped at Kentucky’s St. Catharine College during a two-day celebrating Wendell Berry’s life and ideas and marking the 35th anniversary of the publication of his landmark book, "The Unsettling of America."
Moyers & Company: Wendell Berry: Poet & Prophet, Friday at 9 p.m. on PBS 6.
