Ecology and the tribal community, the need for humankind to relearn intimate connection with a particular place and soil, are the essential themes of his essays in The Old Ways , collected in 1972. Of the knowledge that a people acquires of its locality, Snyder writes, "a spirit of what it was to be there Snyder represented a cultural movement that distrusted modern technology, practiced simple crafts, and thought to return to fundamental impulses of the body and compositions of nature. Its partisans exalted the folk traditions of peoples such as the Vietnamese and American Indians whose primary communities seemed to be under siege by Western imperialism with its technological and scientific apparatus. People of the United States have never quite come to terms with their continental land as an Irishman knows his plot or a Guatemalan Indian her village. The friendship of Kerouac and Snyder brought together ways quite divergent and yet complementary in their apprehension of the land. In

Gary Snyder (b. 1930) Contributing Editor: Thomas R. Whitaker Questions for Reading and Discussion/Approaches to Writing "Riprap" As Snyder tells us in his first volume, riprap is "a cobble of stone laid on steep, slick rock to make a trail for horses in the mountains." In (p. 43), he calls poetry "a riprap on the slick rock of metaphysics." This poem may suggest the "objectivism" of William Carlos Williams "No ideas but in things"and yet it finally evokes an infinite, ever-changing system of worlds and thoughts. Such idealism, of course, also enters Williams's Paterson . Central to the poetics of both Williams and Snyder are strategies that enable particulars to evoke a pattern and so provide a link with the universal. What strategies can the class find here? Some poems for comparison: "Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout" and "Piute Creek" in Riprap , and "For Nothing" in Turtle Island all concerned to relate "thing" and "mind" or "form" and "emptiness."

Blog This By Pam Jung, pamj@theunion.com 12:01 a.m. PT Nov 29, 2007 Prospector: Of all the kinds of writing you do - prose, poetry and translations - which gives you the most pleasure and why? Gary Snyder: These are all apples and oranges, and I would hesitate to put them into some special hierarchy. Poetry is not something you can order up - the beginnings of poems come unbidden and then one goes to work on them, always keeping a huge space of mind open around it. The trick is to listen with the inner ear. This is maybe the most rewarding sort of artistic work, but it would be greedy to expect to be able to do it all the time. Prose, and the challenge of writing "a good sentence," is enormously demanding in its own way, and it forces one to be clear. Poetry (and art), as Keats said, will be somewhat in darkness - never mathematically perfect - and yet be full of suggestion and significance. Prose can be made clear. Translation is a challenging exercise that calls on the intuitive and receptive side of the mind, even as one strives for clarity. I do not pretend to translate from languages that I have no knowledge of (as some writers do). Even with languages I know a little (literary Chinese, modern Japanese, French), I ask a bilingual native speaker of that language to go over my translation for me and help me catch what I might have lost. This makes it slow work, so I haven't translated a lot. I am in awe of the great translator from both Chinese and Japanese, Burton Watson (an old friend) who is still doing great work in both languages, both poetry and prose. Many writers of poetry know that translation of poetry can help one jump-start one's own writing of poems when stalled.

Gary Snyder Pitcher born May 8, 1930 Beat Generation Writer Gary Snyder was one of the six poets who read at the historic Six Gallery Reading in San Francisco on October 7, 1955. He read the poem "A Berry Feast." Born in San Francisco and raised in the northwest, he went to Reed College where he roomed with two other members of the West Coast Beat Generation vortex, Phillip Whalen and Lew Welch . After college and while living in Berkeley he began a life-long study of Buddhism. Later, Snyder would move to Japan. Snyder first came across the term "Beat Generation" when, while sitting in a dentist's chair in San Francisco, he read "Jazz of the Beat Generation" by Jack Kerouac in New World Writing No. 7 in 1955. His association with the New York contigent of the Beat Generation began shortly after when he met Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac through Kenneth Rexroth in San Francisco. Much of Kerouac's novel Dharma Bums was inspired by the friendly relationship that developed between the two men. In that novel, Snyder appears as the character Japhy Ryder. Snyder's interest and knoweldge of Buddhism had a significant influence on Kerouac's study of that religion. Snyder's first book of poetry
