Description
Gary Snyder's groundbreaking poetry collection, first published in Japan in 1959, is now celebrated in a special 50th Anniversary edition. This influential work, Riprap, has stood the test of time, and its translations, including Snyder's own work on Han Shan's Cold Mountain Poems, are widely regarded as some of the finest in the English language. Reintroducing this seminal collection, this edition offers a chance to experience the profound simplicity and spare elegance that have made Snyder one of the greatest poets in America. With its unique blend of nature, poetry and philosophy, Riprap is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and the natural world. This edition includes Snyder's translations of Han Shan's Cold Mountain Poems, a remarkable addition to the collection that showcases Snyder's skill as a translator. A small press reprint of this edition will please those already familiar with this work, while introducing a new generation of readers to the beauty and power of Snyder's poetry.
