"We definitely need art, and music, and disciplined, nonviolent, but very real anger. Mostly we need to tell the truth, resolutely and constantly. Fossil fuel is wrecking the one earth we've got. It's not going to go away because we ask politely. If we want a world tht works, we're going to have to raise our voices". Bill McKibben

Wendell Berry to speak in New Haven this Saturday, 12/7/13
Wendell Berry is a famous writer among certain circles. He is an avowed agrarian, poet, essayist and, in my book, a wise man. Some of his most well-known works may be "The Unsettling of America" and "The Art of the Commonplace" both of which are painful to read, in places. Not a good recommendation, I know, but if we are to see through the BS we are regularly handed out, we have to be able to deal with the pain of what has happened to society during the 20th and 21st centuries. Another beautiful little book of essays and literature, that I love, is "Imagination in Place". Truly a lovely little book.
