Earth House Hold

Gary Snyder

New Directions, New York, 1969. Fifth Printing.

Binding a bit loose, some chipping to front and rear cover, yellowed text block. A good readers copy.

Subtitled “Technical Notes & Queries for Fellow Dharma Revolutionaries” Earth House Hold was on the forefront of ecopoetics; this the pastoral poetry of the present moment, laden with philosophical digressions, ecologic pondering, and wonderful nature imagery filtered through a technicians mind. Really still quite ahead of its time, the closet analog I can think of is the Whole Earth Catalog. I love this book.
