In a new compilation of essays, Benjamin P. Myers articulates a well-rounded vision of a rooted life. Gathering critical observations about localism, liberal arts education, and contemporary poetics, Ambiguity and Belonging lays out the work necessary to live intentionally in one's home, career, and vocation. With a unique perspective as a former Oklahoma poet laureate, Myers intertwines personal reflections with close readings, poetry reviews, and cultural analysis, making these essays accessible to anyone interested in creating their own expressions of authentic community. Ideal for readers of Wendell Berry, Ambiguity and Belonging offers a stable way forward in an often-precarious time.
