Abstract
There are many who believe Wendell Berry is the best living thinker in America. Author of more than thirty books of poetry, essays and novels, this Kentucky farmer has long advocated slowing down and living close to the land. One of his insights tells us “When going back makes sense, you are going ahead.” Motivated, in part, by Berry’s wisdom we have dedicated this issue of Taproot to the theme of “Getting Back to Basics.” Those familiar with Berry’s work will recognize his influence in our selection of articles. Those new to Berry’s writing may find his advice, Word and Flesh Principles, on page four interesting.
