Back To Earth Talk Index Gary Snyder
Gary Snider is the author of numerous volumes of essays and poems, including the Pulitzer Prize- winning Turtle Island . He teaches literature and wilderness thought at the University of California at Davis and lives with his family in the Sierra foothills. in the service of the wilderness of life of death of the mother's breasts. - from "Tomorrow's Song," in Turtle Island This living flowing land is all there is, forever
We are it it sings through us-
We could live on this Earth without clothes or tools! -From "By Frazier Creek Falls" in Turtle Island
Coyote and Ground Squirrel do not break the compact they have with each other that one must play predator and the other play game. The Practice of the Wild We . . . must try to live without causing unnecessary harm, not just to fellow humans but to all beings. We must try not to be stingy, or to exploit others. There will be enough pain in the world as it is. Ibid. Creatures who have traveled with us through the ages are now apparently doomed, as their habitat - and the old, old habitat of humans - falls before the slow-motion explosion of expanding world economies. Ibid.

Much of his writing demonstrates the influence of the respected American poets, Walt Whitman and Ezra Pound, as well as intimations of mysticism exemplified in Far Eastern forms. His experiences as a logger and ranger in the Pacific Northwest were inspirations for his first two collections of poetry: Riprap (1959) and Myths and Texts Many of his later works focus on alternatives to city living and show a reverence for nature and a deep interest in the philosophies of the East. The latter is a characteristic that seems an almost ubiquitous attribute possessed by many other Beat writers. Perhaps this quality respect and toleration for the world around oneself are what make these writers as interesting as they are accessible.

by Gary Snyder
from Mountains and Rivers Without End , Counterpoint, 1996
Introduction to this Web Presentation On April 8, 1956, Gary Snyder began work on a long poem entitled Mountains and Rivers Without End . Initially inspired by East Asian landscape painting and his own experience within "a chaotic universe where everything is in place," Snyder's vision was further stimulated by Asian art and drama, Gaia history, Native American performance and storytelling, the practice of Zen Buddhism, and the varied landscapes of Japan, California, Alaska, Australia, China, and Taiwan.
While a few individual sections of the poem have been published in literary magazines and seven poems in a chapbook, Snyder's ardent fans have waited patiently through the past forty years for the completion of Mountains and Rivers Without End . The entire work appears for the first time in this volume.
Traveling beyond its origins in the Western tradition of Whitman, Pound, and Williams

    Gary Snyder
    "The greatest of living nature poets."- Los Angeles Times Gary Snyder teaches literature and wilderness thought at the University of California at Davis and lives with his family on San Juan Ridge in the Sierra foothills. He was born on May 8, 1930 in San Francisco, Calif., to Harold Alton and Lois (Willkie) Snyder and raised in Washington and Oregon on small farms. When he was 15 he climbed Mount St. Helens. He joined the Mazamas Climbing Club and the Wilderness Society, and climbed many of the northwest's major snow peaks. Snyder received a degree in literature and anthropology from Reed College in 1951. After briefly studying linguistics at Indiana University, he completed three years of graduate work in Asian languages at the University of California at Berkeley. He also worked on the docks in San Francisco, read Buddhist philosophy and wrote poetry. During the 1950's Snyder became involved with the San Francisco Beat movement. After Snyder and Jack Kerouac climbed Matterhorn Peak in the northern Sierra Nevada, Kerouac used Snyder as the model for Japhy Ryder, the itinerant mountain-climbing poet of Dharma Bums (1958), a man who took his Zen practice beyond the confines of formal study.

    Caffeine Destiny: What is the most satisfying thing for you about writing, and has that changed over the years?
    Gary Snyder:
    The act of making something, bringing elements together and creating a new thing with craft and wit hidden in it, is a great pleasure. It's not the only sort of pleasure, but it is challenging and satisfying, and not unlike other sorts of creating and building. In Greek "poema" means "makings." It doesn't change with the years, or with the centuries.

    [Gary Snyder] a friend, colleague and a major literary figure of the twentieth century. A major poet and ethical voice in the best honored traditions of the American Thoreau and the Japanese haiku-master Dogen. His work makes us far more alive and attentive; it reaches into our deepest and best resources, heartens us to the challenges and promises of restoration to a natural place from which many of us now feel ourselves estranged. Robert Haas, US Poet Laureate For the past forty years, Gary Snyder has pursued a radical vision which integrates Zen Buddhism, American Indian practices, ecological thinking and wilderness values. The vision has informed his poetry, shaped the cause of Deep Ecology, and produced a distinctive answer to the eternal question of what it is to live a human life. Jack Turner If Ginsberg is the Beat movement's Walt Whitman, Gary Snyder is the Henry David Thoreau. Bruce Cook I hold the most archaic values on earth ... the fertility of the soul, the magic of the animals, the power-vision in solitude, .... the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe. Gary Snyder In wilderness is the preservation of the world.

    Gary Snyder
    You have to be careful writing about Gary Snyder, because he's such a Zen guy you get the feeling anything you write will be vastly inferior to silence. People tend to be impressed by Gary Snyder: Jack Kerouac was so knocked out by his mountain-climber courage and Buddhist calmness that he wrote one of his best books, ' The Dharma Bums ,'about him. Snyder's poems, charged with the consciousness of Buddha-nature, made him a Beat celebrity as a young man, and he remains a widely respected symbol of a certain peaceful and contemplative literary state of mind. So I probably already deserve a sharp blow on the back with a stick for this inane blathering, and I'll just briefly summarize the pertinent facts of Snyder's life and then send you along to one of his poems, which I'll type in as an exercise in right mindfulness. He was born on May 8, 1930 in San Francisco, California but grew up in the Pacific Northwest. He attended Reed College along with his friends Philip Whalen and Lew Welch , and then went to Berkeley to study Asian Languages. He had a particular interest in Chinese and Japanese culture and poetry, an interest shared by

    20. Gary Snyder - Basic Materials For The Counterculture
    Excerpt from a chapter of Making Peace With the Sixties.
    http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/88/snyder.html
    Gary Snyder - basic materials for the counterculture
    brief excerpt from David Burner's Making Peace with the Sixties (Princeton University Press, 1996) In Snyder's writings or the sixties, nature, sex, the unconsciousbasic materials for much of the counterculturetake, the place of the exacting personal encounters with the outer and inner world that he had once sought in Zen discipline. Ecology and the tribal community, the need for humankind to relearn intimate connection with a particular place and soil, are the essential themes of his essays in The Old Ways , collected in 1972. Of the knowledge that a people acquires of its locality, Snyder writes, "a spirit of what it was to be there evolved, that spoke of a direct sense of relation to the 'land'-which really means, the totality, of the local bio-region system, from cirrus clouds to leaf-mold." A knowledge of place contributes to knowledge of self, for the self is composite. "Part of you is out there waiting to come into you, and another part of you is behind you, and the 'just this' of the ever-present moment holds all the transitory little selves in its mirror." Such is the wisdom of peoples who have learned to keep within their ecological limits. In dark contrast stand the imperial peoples, who have discovered that by invading another ecological system they can drain energy from it. From wisdom comes a perception of the soundness of the whole universe. Snyder tells of the concept in India of the universe-as-energy as a voice, a song stirring within the still and silent Brahma: mantra chanting is a chanting of the fundamental syllables of that voice, a return to the first energy of the universe.
