    About this ebook

  • Reissued for the 30th anniversary of this seminal work
  • May 8th, 2020 is Gary Snyder's 90th birthday, and this will be marked with a major celebration with Snyder and many literary, Buddhist, and environmental heavyweights at Point Reyes Books in California
  • Featuring a new introduction by Robert Hass (Pulitzer Prize winner and former Poet Laureate of the United States)
  • Snyder is, of course, an important writer, a Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry, and a spokesperson for the wilderness. Here in spare, eloquent prose, he presents a series of essays that probe the essence of humanity, nature, and their symbiosis
  • An important book for anyone interested in the ethical interrelationships of things, places, and people, and it is a book that is not just read but taken in.
