Hi and thanks for this. I began working on a poem this month that includes the line I am not ashamed, and just now realizing that hearing you read Berry’s poem was probably part of the inspiration. Love this poem, especially “only candor is aloof…..”
Man, this is a beautiful poem, wonderfully read. This gives me chills. I wish I could write like this, but alas, it is not to be so. Thanks, Dale. Thanks Wendell Berry .

Thank you!
I am frequently disappointed with the way people read poetry. Not this time, thankfully. This is a poem that deserves the reading you gave. Thank you.
I don't know exactly how you found me but I'm glad you did. Always interested in poems that non-poets find interesting. Thanks again.
Oops, of course you're a poet too!. I should have known that, s ince we've both had poems in New Verse News and Verbatim.
Beautiful poem! Thank you for reminding me to read and re-read Berry’s work!
