Inspired by the ancient Chinese proverb, "There's nothing you can own that can't be left out in the rain," this collection charts the journeys of the poet from 1947 to 1985. This book is unique among Gary Snyder's numerable works, and the poems contained here are as broad in style as the compilation is in timeframe. With a new introduction by the author, "Left Out in the Rain" captures the evolution of the poet and the man. Readers will travel with Snyder from the American West to the Far East. From Berkeley to Kyoto, his imagery provides insight into the natural world as well as the human experience. With the span of a few words, Snyder can reveal a universe and then two pages later deftly handle a villanelle. Sensual, sardonic, meditative, epigrammatic, formalist--whatever the tone or structure, these poems all bear the indelible stamp of a master. Always evocative, they remind us why Snyder is one of our most heralded and beloved contemporary poets.

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».
