Inspired by the ancient Chinese proverb, "There's nothing you can
own that can't be left out in the rain," this collection charts the
journeys of the poet from 1947 to 1985. This book is unique among
Gary Snyder's numerable works, and the poems contained here are as
broad in style as the compilation is in timeframe. With a new
introduction by the author, "Left Out in the Rain" captures the
evolution of the poet and the man.
Readers will travel with Snyder from the American West to the Far
East. From Berkeley to Kyoto, his imagery provides insight into the
natural world as well as the human experience. With the span of a
few words, Snyder can reveal a universe and then two pages later
deftly handle a villanelle. Sensual, sardonic, meditative,
epigrammatic, formalist--whatever the tone or structure, these
poems all bear the indelible stamp of a master. Always evocative,
they remind us why Snyder is one of our most heralded and beloved
contemporary poets.
