The Practice of the Wild

• About the book

In 10 captivatingly meditative pieces - including a new, previously unpublished essay - Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and writer Gary Snyder explores the ideas of Buddhism, wildness and the lessons that can be learnt from nature and the planet. First published in 1990, these essays stand as the mature centrepiece of Snyder's work and thought and are widely accepted as one of the central 20th century texts on the interaction of nature and culture.
