In his new collection of essays, "Soil and Spirit," the writer and farmer Scott Chaskey reflects on his exploration of poetry, land cultivation, and life. Mr. Chaskey will be at The Church in Sag Harbor on Wednesday at 6 p.m. to talk about how food sovereignty and attention to the earth can be keys to building healthy communities.

A pioneer of the community supported agriculture movement, Mr. Chaskey cultivated more than 60 crops for the Peconic Land Trust at Quail Hill Farm in Amagansett for over 30 years. His poetry has been published widely; he is also the author of a memoir and a book of nonfiction.

Tickets are $10, free for Church members who R.S.V.P. on the website.
