Two beautifully paired essays, "Tawny Grammar" and "Good, Wild, Sacred," serve to offer an autobiographical framework for Gary Snyder''s long work as a poet, environmentalist, and a leader of the Buddhist community in North America.

He begins standing outside a community hall in Portland, Oregon, in 1943 and concludes as a homesteader in the backcountry of Northern California more than forty-five years later. A wonderful introduction to Gary Snyder, this will also serve to remind his faithful readers of the thrill of his insights and his commitments crucial to our future on Turtle Island.

Each palm-size book in the Counterpoints series is meant to stay with you, whether safely in your pocket or long after you turn the last page. From short stories to essays to poems, these little books celebrate our most-beloved writers, whose work encapsulates the spirit of Counterpoint Press: cutting-edge, wide-ranging, and independent.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gary Snyder

Figura central da geração beat, a par de Allen Ginsberg e Jack Kerouac (que o imortalizaria em Os Vagabundos do Dharma), Gary Snyder (n. 1930) é «o poeta laureado da ecologia profunda» e a voz inspirada de uma nova consciência ambiental.
Das Cascades, onde foi lenhador e guarda florestal, aos estudos de antropologia e línguas orientais, o que sempre o moveu foi a interação entre o homem, a natureza e a cultura.
Nos anos 60, fixou-se no Japão, onde estudou o budismo zen entre monges, e na Índia, com Allen Ginsberg.
Ativista e tradutor, géologo amador e incansável montanhista, ganhou o Pulitzer em 1975, com Turtle Island.
É professor emérito da Universidade da Califórnia e autor de várias obras influentes — entre as quais Myths and Texts (1960) e The Back Country (1967) —, que deram voz à contracultura americana dos anos 60.
Filósofo da vida selvagem, na linhagem de Thoreau e Emerson, vive na serra Nevada e será uma eterna inspiração para todos os que «deambulam fora dos trilhos».
