I also just discovered Willa Cather and greatly enjoyed "My Antonia". Several readers have recommended that I read "Death Comes to the Archbishop" and it's up next (after some other interlude reads). Love those book sales!
I revisited Death Comes for the Archbishop several months ago, with the help of the Close Reads podcast folks... which helped draw out so much beauty for me! I'm glad many people are discovering her work. I found her well into adulthood, as well.
I'd love to read your thoughts on Leopold and his "troubled view of land stewardship in Abrahamic religions." It's a topic I always think about when reading his work.

Wonderful to hear! I also grabbed "My Antonia" at the book sale, so I need to get it on my list of reads very soon.
Also, you’ll be encouraged to hear that my teenage son was assigned a Wendell Berry essay to read by his English teacher. He loved it!
How incredible! I am definitely plotting to get some Wendell Berry into the local curriculum. Do you know which essay it was?
It was "Entrance to the Woods" - one that I had not come across yet myself.
