Description
The Back Country is a collection of poems that reflect Gary Snyder's experiences in different parts of the world. The book is divided into four sections, each exploring a distinct geographical and cultural context.
From his time as a logger and forest ranger in the Western mountain country to his studies at a monastery in Kyoto, Japan, Snyder draws on his travels to create poems that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
The book concludes with translations of the Japanese poet Miyazawa Kenji, whose work Snyder feels a close affinity with. This unique blend of poetry and translation offers a fascinating glimpse into two cultures and invites readers to reflect on their own place in the world.
