| AUTHOR | Berry, Wendell |
| PUBLISHER | Counterpoint LLC (01/19/2010) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | eBook (Open Ebook) |
In Imagination in Place, we travel to the local cultures of several writers important to Berry's life and work, from Wallace Stegner's great West and Ernest Gaines' Louisiana plantation life to Donald Hall's New England, and on to the Western frontier as seen through the Far East lens of Gary Snyder. Berry laments today's dispossessed and displaced, those writers and people with no home and no citizenship, but he argues that there is hope for the establishment of new local cultures in both the practical and literary sense.

Rich with Berry's personal experience of life as a Kentucky agrarian, the collection includes portraits of a few of America's most imaginative writers, including James Still, Hayden Carruth, Jane Kenyon, John Haines, and several others.
"[A] stellar collection . . . Foodies, architects, transportation engineers, and other writers are adopting and adapting [Berry's] concepts, perhaps leading to what he envisions will one day be 'an authentic settlement of our country.'" ?The Oregonian
