A Part

San Francisco: North Point Press, 1980 First edition, first printing. Signed by Berry on the front free endpaper. Publisher's tan cloth, lettered in black; in its original orange-brown dust jacket, lettered in white with a design to front panel. Fine book; near fine unclipped dust jacket, with spine faded to yellow, as usual. Overall, a lovely volume. A Part is the seventh volume of poetry by Wendell Berry. A reviewer for Publisher's Weekly writes, "Spare, supple lyrics evoke the poet's joy in woods and fields; his experience of pain and the restorative power of faith; and the fulfillment of love as two people grow old together." Wendell Berry (1934-) is a poet, novelist, essayist, farmer, and environmentalist, whose writings often advocate for harmony between humanity and the natural world. . Signed by Author. First Edition.
