Episode 39 - Gary Snyder: his life & poetry
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
Send us a textIn this extended episode I talk about another American poet, essayist and environmental activist, Gary Snyder.

Snyder, who is now in his nineties, spent a lot of time with Rexroth in the 1950s and for a while Rexroth was something of a mentor to the younger poet.
