I think you’ll really enjoy what you find, especially the Sabbath Poems. I also wrote this essay about my favorite poem, Berry’s “Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front”: https://open.substack.com/pub/rabbitroompoetry/p/manifesto-the-mad-farmer-liberation?r=1nt99a&utm_medium=ios

You’re quite welcome! And Mr. Berry has a new novel, titled “Marce Catlett: The Force of a Story” releasing in October, too.
