DESCRIPTION:In 1965\, poet Wendell Berry returned home to Henry County\, Ke
 ntucky\, where he bought a small farmhouse and began a life of farming\, w
 riting\, and teaching. This lifelong relationship with the land and commun
 ity would come to form the core of his proli c writings. Today\, Henry Cou
 nty\, like many rural communities across America\, has become a place of q
 uiet ideological struggle\, where the traditional agrarian virtues of simp
 licity\, land stewardship\, sustainable farming\, local economies\, and ro
 otedness to place have been replaced by a capital-intensive and ecological
 ly-destructive model of industrial agriculture.\n\nAt this symposium\, cos
 ponsored by the USC DORNSIFE COLLEGE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT\, USC LIBRARIES\, 
 and RUSKIN ART CLUB\, poets and scholars from across the country assess Be
 rry’s role as one of the most passionate and eloquent voices in defense 
 of agrarian life.
