First published in 1990, these essays stand as the mature centrepiece of Snyder's work and thought and are widely accepted as one of the central 20th century texts on the interaction of nature and culture.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.
