Book excerpt: "We chose Snyder's poem for the project both because the author's association with Japan--where the scroll is a common way to present literature (Snyder lived for a short time in Japan, and his early work was translating Zen poetry)--and because his later work, as a poet writing about man's relation to the environment and nature, was influential on everyone in our generation who ever thought of moving back to the land or taking a backpack trip in the Sierra. The poem Piute Creek is generally considered Snyder's breakthrough poem, where he found his voice as poet for the environment and the American west. The poem guided our aesthetic decisions"--From Peter and Donna Thomas' website
