Just ordered one Chris -- can't wait to read it. When I was a baby ski bum I applied to UC Davis because Snyder was there. I'm not a poet, but figured if he was there, something cool had to be happening. One of these days when we can finally have a beer, I'll tell you all about the class he taught on Zen and Classical Chinese and Japanese poetry. It was astonishing, and about half the students were other faculty ...
I just pre-ordered and also subscribed to pay for this newsletter. I've enjoyed your work before, but the photo for this post stopped me short because I thought you had taken a photo of my own desk! These Chinese and Japanese writers and haiku are among my favorites, and I love the late great David Budbill. Happy to see that I'm not alone.
Thanks so much for the good news. Doubt that I would be alive to this day if I hadn't felt loved by a landscape when I was a child. Looking forward to reading the copy of your book I ordered.
Looking forward to reading this, Chris. I have a couple translations of Basho's that I get out now and then to re-join join him on the path in my mind.
