    Extractions: Visit the general discussion board or view list of boards You have to be careful writing about Gary Snyder, because he's such a Zen guy you get the feeling anything you write will be vastly inferior to silence. People tend to be impressed by Gary Snyder: Jack Kerouac was so knocked out by his mountain-climber courage and Buddhist calmness that he wrote one of his best books, ' The Dharma Bums ,'about him. Snyder's poems, charged with the consciousness of Buddha-nature, made him a Beat celebrity as a young man, and he remains a widely respected symbol of a certain peaceful and contemplative literary state of mind. So I probably already deserve a sharp blow on the back with a stick for this inane blathering, and I'll just briefly summarize the pertinent facts of Snyder's life and then send you along to one of his poems, which I'll type in as an exercise in right mindfulness. He was born on May 8, 1930 in San Francisco, California but grew up in the Pacific Northwest. He attended Reed College along with his friends Philip Whalen and Lew Welch , and then went to Berkeley to study Asian Languages. He had a particular interest in Chinese and Japanese culture and poetry, an interest shared by

    Extractions: brief excerpt from David Burner's Making Peace with the Sixties (Princeton University Press, 1996) In Snyder's writings or the sixties, nature, sex, the unconscious basic materials for much of the counterculture take, the place of the exacting personal encounters with the outer and inner world that he had once sought in Zen discipline. 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 evolved, that spoke of a direct sense of relation to the 'land'which really means, the totality), of the local bio-region system, from cirrus clouds to leaf-mold. "A knowledge of place contributes to knowledge of self. for the self is composite. Part of you is out there waiting to come into you, and another part of you is behind you, and the 'just this' of the ever-present moment holds all the transitory little selves in its mirror." Such is the wisdom of peoples who have learned to keep within their ecological limits. In dark contrast stand the imperial peoples, who have discovered that by invading another ecological system the), can drain energy from it. From wisdom comes a perception of the soundness of the whole universe. Snyder tells of the concept in India of the universe-as-energy as a voice, a song stirring within the still and silent Brahma: mantra chanting is a chanting of the fundamental syllables of that voice, a return to the first energy of the universe.

    Extractions: Stanford Humanities Center Mellon Foundation Graduate Research Workshop: Reading Gary Snyder's "Mountains and Rivers Without End" (a.k.a. The "Mountains and Rivers" Workshop) As poet, essayist, translator, Zen student, environmentalist and teacher, Gary Snyder has made an indelible mark on late-twentieth century American thought. At present, Snyder is a resident of San Juan Ridge, Professor of English, and guiding force behind the Program in Nature and Culture at the University of California-Davis. Snyder received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1975. Earlier this year he was awarded both the Bollingen Poetry Prize and the John Hay Award for Nature writing. In April 1996 Snyder completed Mountains and Rivers Without En d, a long poem sequence he resolved to write on April 8, 1956. In our year-long workshop we will study and explicate this poem by identifying and attending to the various voices and ideas that reverberate thought this complex text. Our workshop will begin on October 9, 1997 with Snyder giving a full-scale public reading of Mountains and Rivers. At this performance we will make audio and video recordings for archival and research purposes. Then, in the months to come, research participants will attend weekly seminars on the poem, given by scholars from various departments in the arts, humanities and sciences both from Stanford and from other universities. The seminar will end with another reading from the book at the Stanford Bookstore on Friday May 15, 1998, followed by a day-long symposium on the poem on May 16, 1998.

    Extractions: by Ann Charters, from The Portable Beat Reader Gary Snyder was born on May 8, 1930 in San Francisco, California, and was raised in Washing ton state and Oregon. At Reed College he was part of a bohemian group that included Philip Whalen and Lew Welch, who joined him in San Francisco in the early 1950s. Snyder entered the Asian language program of the University of California in Berkeley, where he lived in a small cottage near the Young Buddhist Association and saved his money to study Buddhism in Japan. His friend Will Petersen recalls that Snyder wore blue jeans to read his poetry at the Six Gallery, whereas Ginsberg wore a charcoal gray suit, white shirt, and tie. Snyder was, according to his friend, "somehow certain of immortality, back then. In an impoverished Taoist unpublished poet sort of way. `Save the invitation [to the Six Gallery reading],' Gary confided, `Some day it will be worth something.'" Snyder's first book of poems, Riprap, was published by Origin Press in 1959 and reflect his experience in Yosemite in 1955 as a trail crew laborer laying "riprap," a kind of rock pavement set into an eroding trail. "Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout" and "Milton by Firelight" were inspired by his earlier summer jobs as a lookout ranger in the mountains of Washington. "Night Highway Niney-nine" described various trips hitchhiking from Seattle to San Francisco early in 1956, accormpanied at times by Allen Ginsberg. "Note on the Religious Tendencies" appeared in

    Extractions: About Gary Snyder Glyn Maxwell S nyder was born in San Francisco, and brought up in Oregon and Washington State. He received his BA in anthropology at Reed College, Portland, in 1951. His subsequent career has been a remarkable combination of the academic and the contemplative, spiritual study and physical labour. Between working as a logger, a trail-crew member, and a seaman on a Pacific tanker, he studied Oriental languages at Berkeley (1953-6), was associated with Beat writers such as Ginsberg and Kerouac, lived in Japan (1956-64), later studied Buddhism there, and won numerous literary prizes, including a Guggenheim fellowship (1968) and the Pulitzer Prize (1975). He now teaches literature and 'wilderness thought' at the University of California at Davis. The shapes and strengths of Gary Snyder's craft were established at the outset of his career. His first book, Riprap Snyder's poetry blends America's native past with the grandeur and detail of nature, and the mental disciplines of Zen Buddhism: his long apprenticeship in the latter has harvested a tough simplicity and freshness of expression (at its best in Cold Mountain Poems
