TAWNY GRAMMAR

Gary Snyder

Essays

A wonderful introduction to Gary Snyder, Tawny Grammar will also serve to remind his faithful readers of the thrill of his insights and his commitment to ideals crucial to our future on Turtle Island.
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.

GARY SNYDER is the author of sixteen collections of poetry and prose. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1975, Snyder has also been awarded the Bollingen Prize for Poetry and the Robert Kirsch Award for lifetime achievement. Since 1970, he has lived in the watershed of the South Yuba River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.

Snyder's essays are the best place to acquaint yourself with his belief that we are all 'rooted in nature' . . . Short on pages but long on decency.
