  The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America

  A unique lens on work in the late 90s that still resonated when I read it in 2018. It's a soulful exploration of how to maintain your humanity, creativity and inner fire in environments that often prioritize conformity and efficiency.

  Human violence is not a human peculiarity: nature is not a peaceful thing, and every living thing in it is trying to kill something else.

  Their words

There’s some quite funny Werner Herzog thing where he is in the jungle saying that it’s basically just murder and death in every direction.

  The World-Ending Fire

  Their words

  After years of people recommending him to me, I finally took the plunge into the literary world of Wendell Berry. Now I can't help but wonder what took me so long. This 2018 collection of Berry's best essays is a fantastic introduction into his genre-defining polemic style, which mixes razor-sharp commentary with a poetry grounded in lived experience, to argue on behalf of land, the environment, and a slower, richer approach to life.
