Titel: The Great Clod
Auteur: Gary Snyder
ISBN: 9781619025691
Conditie: Als nieuw

From the Pulitzer Prizewinning poet of Turtle Island: a meditative, scholarly memoir of Asiaa book . . . not quite like any other but trademark Snyder (Kirkus Reviews). Over the course of his singular career, the Pulitzer Prizewinning poet, essayist, environmental activist, and Beat icon Gary Snyder has derived wisdom and inspiration from his study of Eastern philosophies, cultures, and art. Now, with this collection of eight essays, Snyder offers a deceptively small book enfolding a lifetimes worth of study (Kirkus Reviews). The Great Clod is the culmination of a project that Snyder began in 1969 with the essay Summer in Hokkaido, first published in Coevolution Quarterly. In it and the subsequent entries, most of which are published here for the first time, Snyder weaves together elements of travel memoir and poetic insight with scholarly meditations on civilizations relationship to the environment. The result is a seamless exploration of Asia that ranges from Hokkaido to Kyoto, from the Ainu to the Mongols, from the landscapes of China to the backcountry of Japan, and from the temples of Daitokoji to the Yellow River Valley. Here you will find a series of essays on Asias ecological history, combining culture and politics in a way that is, unsurprisingly, poetic and graceful (Japan Times).
