Berry, You're the Man ..!

I think that that history may judge this speech as one of the most important and eloquent environmental speeches ever made in this country. But it is a lot more more than an environmental speech. Almost like a sermon, but not religious, even to the echoing murmurs and cheers in the audience, very like a church service in that way. I like it.

Very powerful speech. Worth listening to not once but over and over, to get what he is saying. Wendell Berry is a great American and an inspiration.

Thanks you Wendell Berry!!! I love hearing him speak, and love his books even more. The most challenging thing about his writing, is enacting what Wendell imagines. IT is hard, and entirely counter cultural

[bigapplebucky]

Good luck to the people of Kentucky. Keep up the good fight. You have a long, tough row to hoe.

Bravo Wendell, great poet, clever man. Great video, thank you.

One of Americas' most compelling and compassionate thinkers and writers. Perhaps with the new administration his thoughtfulness and humanitarianism will now be taken into consideration in forming our policies, both domesticly and internationally.

[lukegroce]

@bi11meinphilly i wouldn't bet on it, unfortunately.

[ndrwkmbl]

what do you mean when you say bullshit? are you responding to someone else's comment or are you responding to the content of the speech?

[Nilyentaraka]

Wendell Berrrrrrry! I admire him, along with Lynn R. Miller, Gene Logsdon, and Allan Nation!

[hindview]

they treat mountain people much the same way as they treat the mountains, we're called every insulting name under the sun.

[jen8933]

@hindview

indeed it's become a national thing.

it hurts me to my soul some of the things that are said about my mountain people. my grandmothers and grandfathers reviled while rich drunk frat boys from connecticutt are held up as great examples for our children.

how did it get so turned on its' head?

[carnut476]

@jen8933 Wow, Thats it in a nutshell.

[AlexTrebucq]

I've read his novels and they're brilliant. This is the first time I've heard his voice. Than k you very much for posting this speech.

[blueathena]

[otacon451]

[jerrytomball]

Though he is not universally famous now, but one day I am certain his poems and writings will be well-received.

[shopnear]

What a great video! I've been a fan of Wendell Berry for over a decade, but I've never seen him speak before - thanks for posting.

[cutis1000]

thank you for filming this and uploading it. I've been reading a fascinating interview with Berry in the latest Sun magazine. I had never heard of him before and will read more from him. Thank you.

[brucegrr]

Thanks for posting. It's nice to be able the hear and see the man himself speak...especially considering he's not a big fan of technology.

[powellwired]

thanks so much for sharing this video. Berry is such a great human being.

[foxyfoxyroxy]

Does anyone know where I can get a printed copy of this speech?

[maryellenthemarxist]
