Fidelity

**"In this powerful new collection, the noted poet, essayist, and fiction writer returns to Port William, Kentucky, the fictional town introduced in *The Wild Birds*. Berry's narrator roams easily through the town's past 100 years, remarking early in the book that even the unknown past is present in us, its silence as persistent as a ringing in the ears . . . If the stories seem somber in their emphasis on loss, the pains are clearly leavened by the comforts of community and connectedness that a small town can provide. An excellent introduction to one of America's finest prose writers." --*Publishers Weekly***

Reissued as part of Counterpoint's celebration of beloved American author Wendell Berry, the five stories in *Fidelity* return readers to Berry's fictional town of Port William, Kentucky, and the familiar characters who form a tight-knit community within.
