In 1962, after studying Buddhism in Japan, Gary Snyder, with his
former wife, the poet Joanne Kyger, joined Allen Ginsberg and his
companion Peter Orlovsky for a long trip to India "to see the
hearth-land of the Buddha's teachings." As always, Snyder kept
extensive journals of his travels and, in this particular case,
also wrote the whole account in one long letter to his sister.
Passage Through India brings both together in celebration of and
reverence for India and its teachings. As Snyder writes in his
original preface, "I honor India for many things: those neolithic
cattle breeders who sang daily songs of love to God and Cow, as a
family, and whose singing is echoed even today . . . The finest
love poetry and love sculpture on earth . . . But most, the
spectacle of a high civilization that accomplished art, literature,
and ceremony without imposing a narrow version of itself on every
tribe and village." Complete with over eighty photos from Snyder's
personal collection, Passage Through India is an opportunity to
join one of our most heralded and beloved poets on a great
spiritual journey under "an eternal sky of stars, and on a
beginningless earth."
