How wild is wilderness and how wild are our experiences in it,...

AuthorGary Snyder
ISBN0679742522
Snyder is great, and this represents him quite well. However, I think his body of work will remain just a hair's breadth away from full illumination until a devoted editor annotates many of his very particular regional, botanical, anthropological and non-English references. It's somewhat astounding...

AuthorJohn Zerzan
ISBN0922915989
Dacia spied this beside my chair recently, flipped through it and muttered that it sounded like just a bunch of angry old men. Sadly, it didn't even live up to that. The way themes overlap in the first half of the book is a textbook case of how NOT to do an anthology - the repetitions were pointless and/or borrowed...
