Description

Conversations with Gary Snyder explores the life and work of one of America's most distinguished poets. Born in 1930, Snyder has had a long and productive career, marked by his contributions to both literature and environmental thought. The book collects interviews from 1961 to 2015, offering insight into Snyder's developing environmental philosophy and wide-ranging interests in ecology, Buddhism, Native American studies, history, and mythology. Through these conversations, Snyder shares his thoughts on key ideas such as the extended family, shamanism, poetics, visionary experience, and caring for the environment. As a poet and philosopher, Snyder has remained committed to the issues that preoccupied him as a young man, while also evolving and growing over the course of his career. This collection provides a unique glimpse into Snyder's life and work, making it an interesting read for those interested in literature, philosophy, or environmentalism.
