From journeys to the Dolomites, to the north shore of Lake Tahoe; from Paris and Tuscany to the shrine at Delphi; from Santa Fe to Sella Pass, Snyder lays out these poems as a map of the last decade. Placed side–by–side, they become a path and a trail of complexity and lyrical regard, a sort of riprap of the poet’s eighth decade. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the mix are some of the most beautiful domestic poems of his great career: poems about his work as a homesteader and householder, as a father and husband, as a friend and neighbor. A centerpiece in this collection is a long poem about the death of his beloved, Carole Koda, a rich poem of grief and sorrow, rare in its steady resolved focus on a dying wife, of a power unequaled in American poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGary Snyder is one of the greatest American poets of the last century, and \u003ci\u003eThis Present Moment\u003c\/i\u003e shows his command, his broad range, and his remarkable courage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Each of the moments of these poems is completely open, even when . . . it resounds with deep personal emotion.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44215758192895,"sku":"9781619027381","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781619027381_s600x595.jpg?v=1776703076","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781619027381","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
