From the Publisher
The master of lucid meditation . . . Readers are fortunate to have what Snyder wants to pass on.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Long ago staked his claim as one of America's finest poets . . . [An] unswerving integrity [is] present throughout the development of Snyder's poetic sensibility.”
—Boston Herald
“As early as the 1950s, before ecology became a household word, Snyder understood things about our civilization and economy that no one else was talking about, and he wrote about them with great authority and a sinewy line.” —Richard Tillinghast, The Nation
