Wendell Berry in Tulsa

"You can drive for miles through such country and never see another human being at work. And the people you see at work, if you see any at work anywhere, almost certainly will be inside the cabs of tractors. Their contact with the soil beneath them having become almost entirely mechanical."

Berry was in town to receive the Tulsa Library Trust's 2012 Peggy V. Helmerich Distinguished Author Award, given annually to internationally acclaimed authors who have written a distinguished body of work and made a major contribution to the field of literature and letters.
