Mountains and Rivers Without End: Poem
Mountains and Rivers Without End: Poem | Gary Snyder
2 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
In simple, striking verse, legendary poet Gary Snyder weaves an epic discourse on the topics of geology, prehistory, and mythology. First published in 1996, this landmark work encompasses Asian artistic traditions, as well as Native American storytelling and Zen Buddhist philosophy, and celebrates the disparate elements of the Earth -- sky, rock, water -- while exploring the human connection to nature with stunning wisdom. Winner of the Bollingen Poetry Prize, the Robert Kirsch Lifetime Achievement Award, and the Orion Society's John Hay Award, among others, Gary Snyder finds his quiet brilliance celebrated in this new edition of one of his most treasured works.

Hi there, poetry peeps! I finally found the book of poetry that I‘d like to read. This actual book was given to me by a favorite professor friend several years ago. I had a heck of time finding it! Before I order a new copy for us all to write in, I just want to make sure none of you has already read it.

Readergrrl @Hazel2019 I just sent my book of poetry to you today. I was a little late due to Thanksgiving and going away for my birthday this past weekend. I‘ve added a couple of edible treats for you to make up for my tardiness!! 2y

Readergrrl @Hazel2019 @mcipher @Butterfinger Hi Fellow Readers! I was wondering if any of you still had this Gary Snyder book? If you‘re still reading it, please do keep enjoying it. I was just thinking that I‘d love to read everyone‘s comments on it! 2y
Readergrrl @Hazel2019 @mcipher @Butterfinger I know I was VERY late getting the last two poetry books out, so it‘s very likely that they might be still making the rounds! 2y
Hazel2019 Hi! I have sent it on a while ago. 2y
Readergrrl @Hazel2019 Ah, thanks for letting me know! I‘m sure it will make its way home soon! 😊 2y
mcipher @Readergrrl @Hazel2019 @Butterfinger I am sitting on like 3 books right now, I‘m sorry! A few came all at once and this one I keep forgetting to finish so i can start the others 🤦‍♀️ I have to get myself together and finish and mail them back!! (edited) 2y
Readergrrl @mcipher Absolutely no worries!! Take your time and send it when you can. 😊Also, don‘t put unneeded pressure on yourself! Life‘s too short to finish a book, any book, that doesn‘t speak to you. I live by that rule!! (edited) 2y
Butterfinger @mcipher @Readergrrl @Hazel2019 I should not have signed up for poetry. I have had Satched for the longest time. I will do my darndest to start it today. 2y
Readergrrl @Butterfinger @mcipher @Hazel2019 Oh dear, I hope I didn‘t make you all feel badly! No one should feel obligated to read anything that doesn‘t bring you pleasure. Just send them along if you want; no pressure! 😊 2y
mcipher @Readergrrl No! Just a good reminder to get going and send them on! 🙌 2y
Butterfinger @Readergrrl poetry isn't my choice. I knew it when I signed up. I need to push myself. 2y
