Wendell Berry’s Lasting Call to Earth | Salt Lake City News

Wendell Berry, the revered writer and activist who spent his life championing sustainable farming and a simpler, earth-centered way of living, has passed away. Known for his handwritten poetry, the “mad farmer” character, and his defiant call to sanity in a mad world, Berry’s voice echoed through generations. His poem “The Peace of Wild Things” remains a quiet anthem for finding refuge in nature. Fellow environmentalists like Gary Nabhan and Taylor Brorby praise him as a saintly force who broadened the environmental movement with grace, humor, and profound personal connection — leaving behind a legacy that urges us to live deliberately, resist mindlessly, and honor the land.
