Synopsis "myths and texts paradise lost"

The three sequences in the book--Logging, Hunting, Burning--show the remarkable cohesiveness in Snyder's writings over the years, for we find the poet absorbed, then as now, with Buddhist and Amerindian lore and other interconnections East and West, but above all with the premedical devotion to the land and work.
