The Gary Snyder Reader by Gary Snyder
Gary Snyder has been a major cultural force in America for five decades-prize-winning poet, environmental activist, Zen Buddhist, and reluctant counterculture guru. Having expanded far beyond the Beat poems that first brought his work into the public eye, Snyder has produced a wide-ranging body of work that encompasses his fluency in Eastern literature and culture, his commitment to the environment, and his concepts of humanity's place in the cosmos. The Gary Snyder Reader showcases the panoramic range of his literary vision in a single-volume survey that will appeal to students and general readers alike.GARY SNYDER is an environmental activist, poet, essayist, and lecturer. The Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (1975), the American Book Award (1984), the Bollingen Prize for Poetry (1997), the John Hay Award for Nature Writing (1997), and the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize (2008) are among his many achievements. He is renowned as the Poet Laureate of Deep Ecology, and his poetry displays an immersion in both Buddhist spirituality and nature. He is often associated with the Beat Movement and the San Francisco Renaissance. Snyder has translated ancient Chinese and modern Japanese literature into English.
