Snyder's \u003cem\u003eNo Nature: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Award, was published in 1993 by Pantheon, and his long-anticipated epic poem \u003cem\u003eMountains and Rivers without End\u003c\/em\u003e was published by Counterpoint in 1997. Snyder has had a seminal place among American landscape writers. \"As a poet,\" he once wrote, \"I hold the most archaic values on earth.\" He has long been associated with Beat writers such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and other poets such as Kenneth Rexroth, Robert Creeley, and Robert Duncan. His poetics are founded in Poundian modernism, Chinese and Japanese poetry, and ancient oral native traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLook Out\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection personally compiled by Gary Snyder for New Directions, containing poems and essays from all his New Directions books. It offers first-time readers a chance to see the evolution of his thought and poetry, spanning two decades, and old-time fans the opportunity to behold all the favorites, in a new Bibelot edition. Also included here is Snyder's Introduction, as well as a new poem written about the late New Directions founder James Laughlin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Snyder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811215253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811215251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.99h x 4.77w x 0.46d","brand":"Gary Snyder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890600702207,"sku":"9780811215251","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c29c6589-1311-40e1-8389-f0efdd40b807.jpg?v=1709739495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/look-out-gary-snyder-9780811215251","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
