A Literary Hub Most Anticipated Book of the Year
"Snyder's is a wise voice crying out on behalf of the wilderness
with an authority and eloquence that's not been heard in our
literature since Thoreau." -San Francisco Chronicle
"His sense of the history of land and cultures and his ability to
write as both the Worker and the Thinker create a fertile whole."
-Los Angeles Times
"These previously uncollected and unpublished works by the
Pulitzer Prize-winning Beat poet sing with history, politics, and
place, offering new glimpses into Snyder's verse . . . Readers

addition to his established body of work." -Publishers
