A Wonder Is What It Is: Nick Offerman Reads 'A Warning to My Readers' by Wendell Berry

For National Poetry Month, actor, author, and woodworker Nick Offerman hosts "A Wonder Is What It Is," an audio series from All Of It with Alison Stewart dedicated to poet, activist, author, and Nick's personal hero: Wendell Berry. In four short installments, released every Friday throughout April, Nick will read a poem by Berry – poet, farmer, and environmental activist – and share his reflections.   In this first episode of four, Nick reads the poem “A Warning to My Readers.”   Do not think me gentlebecause I speak in praiseof gentleness, or elegantbecause I honor the gracethat keeps this world. I ama man crude as any,gross of speech, intolerant,stubborn, angry, fullof fits and furies. That Imay have spoken wellat times, is not natural.A wonder is what it is.   Produced by Simon Close Mixing by Amber D Bruce Music composed by Mark Greenberg at The Mayfair Workshop Art by Greg Ruth Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
