Wendell Berry: The Peace of Wild Things
“The Peace of Wild Things” is a beautifully animated film of a poem written and read by Wendell Berry as part of the “Poetry Films” series of the On Being Project, which features animated interpretations of beloved poems. This poem is a warm invitation to return to our early memories of peace and joy, perhaps lying in the grass on a sunny hill, listening to bird and insect sounds, when suddenly, for a moment, "we are free!" Wendell Berry died on August 31, 2026 at age 92.
Explore a host of gems among the full series of On Being's Poetry Films.
At this moment when so much of nature is threatened, what can we do to help save that which is wild and free? Here are three ways to save our planet.
Writing a poem yourself is a wonderful way to explore the heart's desires, and a poem about any aspect of nature, or even the Wild Things, can bring you to that same inner freedom Berry speaks about. Try it today.
