Thank You

Poetry! what a rich heritage.

Sorry, I found the insistent, frustrated baby an unfortunate distraction.

[AvidMINI]

I really enjoyed listening to Gary's poetry and found him to be an engaging speaker as well. I get the feeling he would be a great guy to meet and chat with. Now I want to find some more of his work!

As odd as this may seem, I believe he is the Gary Snyder who replaced my 6th grade English teacher for a while.

@ about 58 minutes- what a (for me) weird, annoying question(?). sophomoric babble coming to nothing which is exacerbated by the loud baby. convoluted attempt at describing zazen (from the woman, i mean).

does anyone know if snyder hung out with william burroughs? wasn't burroughs in tangiers when snyder was in japan, back in '62?

[alhododo]

@Molokai17 If we refer to the Dharma bums, by Kerouac, Gary Snyder did meet William Burroughs.

Garry Snyder is such a cool guy, he lives in my town.

[emberlivingood]

I watched the entire video and after an hour an 17 minutes I still want to see more. I can't believe he said he felt like he wasn't able to get through to people as a teacher! Gary's ideas cut straight through my urban shell and helped me to see my "place in space" as well as my connection to the living, breathing, vastness around (and within) me.

@emberlivingood A real open expression of your love for the high and wild country that inhabits the soul of those who recognized the power of the great Sierra Nevada.

[Rikimaru999]

[romuloandrade2007]

Great and necessary poetry. Integrity, real love to the planet and a beautiful human being example. Excellent talkings. I would ask to Berkeley people to add please subtitles in spanish or portuguese. So we - the other iberoamerican cultures, can apreciate and understand better. Thank you all, hugs from Brasil.

A better world is possible.
