Skip to 5:20 to begin Snyder's talk.
I love Gary! Marvelous! Hope someday I'll meet him!
Gary Snyder's sense of place (I'm from Butte County) is, as alluded in the talk, gnarly. And, thanks for introducing me to "Obata's Yosemite"

I lectured with Gary in Hong Kong, as part of the International Writers Conference.
Sensei Synder is the teacher that I wish all students could meet in their lives. Once I was following Synder around like a puppy dog in Missoula at a wilderness conference...he mostly ignored me...but once,,,, when I was particularly unaware,.HE SUDDENLY TURNED TO ME and said WHAT IS IT?!! It was like a slap and it woke me up.
5:15 Gary gets to the podium.
Hay posibilidad de verlo con subtítulos en castellano?
Brilliant book. Such an eclectic mix. A voice that needs to be heard today. Check out Robin Wall K. for those interested in similar writing.
My wife and I read Turtle Island on our backpacking trip in Washington... Wouldn't want anymore out of life.
Any site of this magistral confference in spanish or subtitules please 🙏🏼😿
I think his search history on his MacIntosh would be interesting.
all things I knew about Snyder before this aside, the first thing I think when I see his face is - this is a face you have to listen to
Kerouac and his nigga Snyder forever be gooning
well, hello Gary Snyder, I'm Gary Snyder, or have we met?
Do I have bad Poetry
DEATH
Glorious death, endless death, ceaseless death
dead as yesterday's burning campfire ashes
maggots feed on the body of truth ceaseless
dead as yesterday's burning campfire
maggots feed on the body of truth
mutilated remains of what was, rotting away
food for scavengers of the winds of the world
As vultures of sugary flattery and harsh anger,
soar and dive
as flies of burning slander and bloated renown
buzz and crawl
as jackals of hot pleasure and searing agony
growl and gnash
PRAYER
Church
Prayer
functions
free of acceptance and rejection
BEWILDERMENT
moving along the dark road vanishes
no self, no road
over rivers of change
Interesting I love it, and sorry, I'm not the one you think
Peyote
Be cool.
what japan spiritual master were they talking about at the beginning? dolgen? or something
I Susannah Lenaker
Dogen Zenji. A 13th century zen master and philosopher.
With a little more integrity Snyder would have started with, "That introduction was the biggest load of b.s. I ever heard, and if you were moved by it you have no chance of being a philosopher, poet, Buddha or anything else he just laid on you on my behalf."
I am 65 - Can we bring back the word "COOL" and wear it out all over again. For example... I will walk to the store - not drive. COOL I will use water - there are a bunch of ways. COOL I will not throw trash out the car window again - in fact, I might even pick some up that is not mine. COOL Do something(s) today - cool the planet. BE COOL What do I know?
Dah! Error in what I wrote. I meant to write. I will use LESS water - COOL
I like groovy. Bring back its use too! Groovy!
Is nude protest against world pollution allowed. That the be an unusual way for people to, all at once, 'be seen' and 'Ah - take a stand'. For what they believe - non violent.
I made another error above. I will make no more corrections to my 'beautiful' stupidity - COOL? Not always.
i love you
