Product Information
Both Pound and Williams have shown a good poet can revitalize prose style. Earth House Hold (a play on the root meaning of ecology ), drawn from Gary Snyder's essays and journals, may prove a landmark for the new generation. As a poet, Snyder tells us, I hold the most archaic values on earth. They go back to the late Paleolithic; the fertility of the soil, the magic of animals, the power-vision in solitude, the terrifying intuition and rebirth; the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe. He develops, as replacement for shattered social structures. a concept of tribal tradition which could lead to growth and enlightenment in self-disciplined freedom. Whatever it is or ever was in any other culture can be reconstructed from the unconscious through meditation...the coming revolution will close the circle and link us in many ways with the most creative aspects of our archaic past.Product Identifiers
