Wendell Berry, Kentucky Agrarian Voice, Dies at 92
Wendell Berry, the Kentucky-born author and agrarian thinker who celebrated rural life and warned against industrial modernity, has died at age 92 in Port Royal, Kentucky. A prolific writer of novels, poetry and essays — including The Unsettling of America — Berry lived on a hillside farm, championed self-sufficiency, and influenced figures from Michael Pollan to Alice Waters; his work linked community, labor and reverence for the earth, while critiquing modern technology and corporate power.
