Description
Gary Snyder is one of America’s indispensable poets, the ‘Thoreau of the Beat Generation’ and the ‘laureate of Deep Ecology.’ Now, for the first time, all of Snyder’s poetry is gathered in a single, authoritative Library of America volume. The volume concludes with a generous selection, made by Snyder himself, of previously uncollected poems from little magazines and broadsides; translations from East Asian literatures; and drafts and fragments never before published. Also included are explanatory notes, a detailed chronology of Snyder’s life, and an essay on textual selection.
