Description

These Pulitzer Prize-winning poems and essays by the author of No Nature range from the lucid, lyrical, and mystical to the political. All, however, share a common vision: a rediscovery of North America and the ways by which we might become true natives of the land for the first time.

User reviews

To be honest, Gary Snyder often makes me want to punch a hippy. But his best poems are clear, strong descriptions of animals, a bird, a fox, a coyote, and landscapes, trees, water, clouds, sky.
