The Peace of Wild Things | Wendell Berry Botanical Print, 14" x 11"

There is a quiet refuge in this print: delicate botanicals set among the words of Wendell Berry’s The Peace of Wild Things, as if the natural world has gathered close around the poem.

The botanical forms were printed from antique printing blocks, likely once used in a field guide. Their graceful marks lend the artwork a sense of age and wonder, while the poem’s presence gives it a thoughtful, contemplative spirit.
