Profile of the US poet Gary Snyder, part of the Beat Generation of writers, which description really doesn´t make justice to his work. I don´t intend to denigrate the Beat Generation, I like a lot of their work, but Snyder is a poet whose work is far more universal. It´s imagery is usually quite local, but not really tied to any particular time or place more than that of the old Chinese or Japanese poets. It´s just a starting point.
