Описание: Two beautifully paired essays, Tawny Grammar and Good, Wild, Sacred, serve to offer an autobiographical framework for Gary Snyders long work as a poet, an environmentalist, and a leader of the Buddhist community in America.

He begins standing outside a community hall in Portland, Oregon, in 1943, and concludes as a homesteader in the backcountry of Northern California more than forty-five years later. Through these beautifully told memories we can see as Snyders mind confronts the influences and methods that helped him become one of the foundational writers of his generation. A wonderful introduction to Gary Snyder, this will also serve to remind his faithful readers of the thrill of his insights and his commitment to ideals crucial to our future on Turtle Island.

Thoreau wrote of this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society. Is it possible that a society as a whole might stay on better terms with nature, and not simply by being foragers? Thoreau replies: The Spaniards have a good term to express this wild and dusky knowledge, Gramatica parda, tawny grammar, a kind of mother-wit derived from that same leopard to which I have referred. The grammar not only of language, but of culture and civilization itself, is of the same order as this mossy little forest creek, this desert cobble. --From Tawny Grammar
