This might be your best one yet, but the breakfast in the diner poem comes close. Just "discovered Wendell Berry" a few months ago. I have a lot of reading to catch up.

Thanks so much for your encouragement, Peter. My first intro to Wendell was his novel "The Memory of Old Jack" and then essays, "The Art of the Commonplace." And after that I just kept going. ha!

Thank you for this engaging tribute to Wendell Berry’s writings. The poem’s accessible style creates a meaningful bridge to Berry’s audience-focused aesthetic vision & offers a thoughtful recasting of Berry’s call to sacramental living.
