David Stephen CalonneConversations with Gary Snyder (Literary Conversations Series)

This collection of interviews with one of the most significant poets and environmentalists of his times, covers an amazing amount of ground, encompassing literature, poetics, ecology, anthropology, Zen Buddhism, and many more topics. Covering fifty years of forward and backward reflections on the part of Snyder, it is engrossing, insightful, informative, and grounding in these otherwise turbulent times.

What a spectacular collection. So good it’s actually worth the ridiculously inflated price.
