Gary Snyder on Ecology and Poetry - part 4 of 4

[Oscar301]

like many, I came to Snyder thru his being depicted in Kerouac's Dharma Bums, and while all the Beat Generation figures have since been popularised and caricatured out of all recognition, Snyder seems to have remained perfectly true to himself and stable throughout - the sign of a great man, and with wisdom to tell.

great post, mister logos

"at the rim of the world" and all before reminds me of UKLeGuinn- "Always Coming Home but my dogs had bitten my precious copy of "Earth House Hold" kerry

Thank you logos. I love Gary Snyder. Didn't he write something like:

come together

learn the flowers

travel light

This is from memory. Does anyone recognize it?

[logosthedestroyer]

It certainly sounds like him. Have you read The Practice of the Wild? That thought is basically the theme of that book. It made me look at the world in a different way.

By the way, there is some excellent stuff on he Internet Archive I'd recommend, him teaching at university and a reading from Boulder. Thanks

How to travel light when you need Internet access? How does Snyder manage so well without it?

[jclark157]

He has internet access via satellite dish at his home.

These are the kind of voices that should more often be heard...instead of celebrities, economists and politicians
