Joe Heithaus, professor of English at DePauw University, read several poems at The Campus Farm Dinner in October. Here he is reading a famous poem called “The Peace of Wild Things” by Wendell Berry.

Poetry (and the arts generally) is a great way to raise awareness or just inspire contemplation on critical issues of our time. This poem is no exception.
