This week I'll be visiting friends at the Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum to give a book talk about the recently released centennial edition of Bailey's environmental manifesto, The Holy Earth, which I edited and for which Wendell Berry contributed a foreword. You can join us on Saturday, January 9, at 12:00 noon at the Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum, 922 S. Bailey Ave., South Haven, MI 49090.

Editor of 100th Anniversary Edition of The Holy Earth to speak
John Linstrom, editor of the new edition of Liberty Hyde Bailey's essential book The Holy Earth, will speak at the Liberty Hyde Bailey Museum on Saturday, January 9 at 12:00.
