Berry's writing is informed by his own long-time farming life in a Kentucky River valley, one shared with Tanya Berry since their marriage in 1957.
In Another Day: Sabbath Poems, 2013-2023, Berry's themes are revisited in ways both familiar and fresh, oscillating between gratitude and yearning.
Berry conveys so perfectly the overlapping emotions of love and grief that, at times, I read through tears... Now, their equal finally in years, how he loves them, how he misses them.
There's enduring love for Tanya in these poems, saying love came to him one time in the person of a girl/ and it abides in the girl's great-grandmotherhood.
