Wendell Berry to Give Jefferson Lecture in April

I have a number of friends who are huge admirers of the farmer-poet-essayist Wendell Berry.  Now comes word via the Chronicle of Higher Education that the National Endowment for the Humanities has invited Berry to give this year’s Jefferson Lecture , on April 23 in Washington.  I look forward to the lecture, and to learning more from him about what so attracts my friends.
