Myths and Texts

I like the mid-twentieth century and early twenty-first-century style of poetry. I tell the story of the present and years gone by.

Good condition, will make a great gift. Thanks.

Fantastic writing!

Beat poetry without the self centeredness...Gary Snyder should be considered a national literary treasure in the same vein as Wendell Berry.

Gary Snyder is a poet whose body of work spans his entire life. In "Myths and Texts" Snyder shows the upward slope of his evolution as a poet. His voice is distinct and drives the form of his words. His cadence is practically one with the surrounding nature of the mythologies he constantly creates and re-creates. The imagery is easy to visualize due to Snyder's connection with nature.
