Wendell Berry Reading Group
One of the authors who has significantly shaped my thinking is Wendell Berry, and he is an author I would love to introduce you all to through my writing at Over the Field -especially concerning his philosophy of agriculture.
I run a Wendell Berry Reading Group here on Over the Field. This takes the form of a Substack chat group where each week, I post an essay title from Wendell Berry’s corpus for us to read over the course of the week along with a few questions to get us going. Members of the group can also pose their own questions, observations, and thoughts and also answer each other’s questions.
In addition, I also run a Zoom discussion once every two months for paid subscribers which will be an open discussion on an essay from Wendell Berry’s book the World Ending Fire.
The chat group and zoom discussions are for paid subscribers only as a means of adding value to a paid subscription and keeping the group size small. A yearly subscription to Over the Field is currently £20 a year: the price of a good hardback book.
By subscribing to Over the Field you will receive full access tot he Wendell Berry Reading Group, early access to all long-form essays, and can request one-on-one calls with me to discuss anything to do with agrarianism, nature, and environmentalism.
Your support means a lot to a small writer such as myself.
