Book summaryA selection of the work of Beat poet and Pulitzer Prize-winning essayist Gary Snyder, this volume concentrates more on non-poetic writings than otherwise. Essays on Buddhism, environmentalism, and his own life join several interviews and a selection of Snyder's letters.Media Reviews"A celebrated beatnik, mountaineer, environmental crusader, essayist and poet, Gary Snyder has lived a life worthy of the epic he has finally finished." -- New York Times Magazine "It is an axiom of his work that the world is too full of beauty...to justify a sour temperament, and that sourness only adds to an already prevalent blight on the loveliness....Snyder's prose poses a reminder by contrast of how often social criticism is crabbed and vindictive, and how much environmental thought is ascetic and angry. A high regard for sensual pleasure, all things festive, and the impulse to improve and enrich one's life fill Snyder's writing...." -- Jedediah Purdy, Boston Book Review Other Recommended Books
