One of the central relationships in the Beat scene was the
long-lasting friendship of Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder. Ginsberg
introduced Snyder to the East Coast Beat writers, including Jack
Kerouac, while Snyder himself became the model for the serious poet
that Ginsberg so wanted to become. Snyder encouraged Ginsberg to
explore the beauty of the West Coast and, even more lastingly,
introduced Ginsberg to Buddhism, the subject of so many long letter
exchanges between them.
Beginning in 1956 and continuing through 1995, the two men
exchanged more than 850 letters. Bill Morgan, Ginsberg's biographer
and an important editor of his papers, has selected the most
significant correspondence from this long friendship. The letters
themselves paint the biographical and poetic portraits of two of
America's most important -- and most fascinating -- poets.
