The pieces showcase his passion for environmentalism and capture his ecstatic focus and compressed vision, as well as his irrepressible energy.” —Publishers Weekly

“Snyder’s is a wise voice crying out on behalf of the wilderness with an authority and eloquence that’s not been heard in our literature since Thoreau.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“His sense of the history of land and cultures and his ability to write as both the Worker and the Thinker create a fertile whole.” —Los Angeles Times

“These previously uncollected and unpublished works by the Pulitzer Prize–winning Beat poet sing with history, politics, and place, offering new glimpses into Snyder’s verse . . . Readers drawn to Snyder’s irrepressible energy will find this a worthy addition to his established body of work.” —Publishers Weekly
