Since 1959, when he published Riprap (poems arising from his early fire lookouts in the North Cascades), Gary Snyder has become this country’s ecologic poet, deeply adept Zen Buddhist, environmental activist. His Turtle Island and other books won Pulitzer and Bollingen prizes, while Mountains and Rivers Without End was celebrated during his last visit to Stanford in 1997.
