Gary Snyder is een Amerikaanse dichter, essayist, spreker en milieuactivist wiens werk een diepe onderdompeling in zowel de boeddhistische spiritualiteit als de natuur belichaamt. Zijn schrijven verkent vaak thema's die verband houden met diepe ecologie, waarbij elementen van reisdagboeken en essays worden verweven. Snyder draagt ook bij als vertaler van literatuur uit het oude Chinees en modern Japans naar het Engels.

Rozsiahly výber z poézie posledného žijúceho beatnika Garyho Snydera preložil Marián Andričík zo súborného diela Collected Poems (2022). Pre Snydera je báseň pracovným priestorom. Myšlienka práce je v Snyderovej ekologickej poézii ústredná, pretože mu umožňuje priamo venovať pozornosť aktu „písania krajiny“. Kritici majú sklon vidieť jeho poetiku ako tvrdenie o vzájomnej prepojiteľnosti všetkých vecí, čo je zároveň buddhistické aj ekologické. Snyderovskú báseň spoznáte okamžite: je to typická kombinácia jednoduchého jazyka Williamsa, voľne plynúcich, intenzívne vizuálnych obrazov Pounda a dokumentárnych informácií krajiny západného pobrežia, ktorú do poézie ako prvý vniesol Robinson Jeffers, presného a nealegorizovaného pozorovania každodenného života čínskych básnikov a orálnosti beatnických kolegov.
Gary Snyder (1930) sbírku Tenhle okamžik (This Present Moment) z roku 2015 označuje jako svou poslední: "Trvalo mi deset let, než jsem získal pocit, že už je tak akorát. Samozřejmě že píšu dál, ale nemyslím, že by z toho byla další kniha." Pro buddhistu Snydera je nature - příroda, přirozenost - mnohem víc, než si obyčejně s tímto pojmem spojujeme - jsme to my, stromy i ptáci, krajina, ale stejně tak i stroje, tahače klád či generátory nebo počítače, věci, které se dnes s Přírodou tak či onak vzájemně ovlivňují. Podle básníka by bylo chybou ignorovat je i v poezii. K přírodě a přirozenosti ale také patří i rození a umírání...

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet of Turtle Island : a meditative, scholarly memoir of Asia―“a book . . . not quite like any other but trademark Snyder” ( Kirkus Reviews ). Over the course of his singular career, the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet, essayist, environmental activist, and Beat icon Gary Snyder has derived wisdom and inspiration from his study of Eastern philosophies, cultures, and art. Now, with this collection of eight essays, Snyder offers “a deceptively small book enfolding a lifetime’s worth of study” ( Kirkus Reviews ). The Great Clod is the culmination of a project that Snyder began in 1969 with the essay ‘Summer in Hokkaido,’ first published in Coevolution Quarterly . In it and the subsequent entries, most of which are published here for the first time, Snyder weaves together elements of travel memoir and poetic insight with scholarly meditations on civilization’s relationship to the environment. The result is a seamless exploration of Asia that ranges from Hokkaido to Kyoto, from the Ainu to the Mongols, from the landscapes of China to the backcountry of Japan, and from the temples of Daitokoji to the Yellow River Valley. Here you will find “a series of essays on Asia’s ecological history, combining culture and politics in a way that is, unsurprisingly, poetic and graceful” ( Japan Times ).
A collection of captivatingly meditative essays that display a deep understanding of Buddhist belief, wildness, wildlife, and the world from an American cultural force.

These essays, first published in 1990, stand as the mature centerpiece of Snyder's work and thought, and this profound collection is widely accepted as one of the central texts on wilderness and the interaction of nature and culture.
