Born May 8, 1930, San Francisco, California. American poet. Full name: Gary Sherman Snyder. After graduating from Reed College in Portland, Oregon in 1951, he studied anthropology at Indiana University until 1952. After moving to San Francisco, he became friends with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, two representative writers of the Beat Generation. In 1955, he witnessed the historic first public reading of Ginsberg's Howl at the Six Gallery in San Francisco. In 1956, he visited Japan and studied Zen Buddhism. In 1986, he taught at the University of California, Davis, and retired as a professor emeritus in 2002. Snyder's early poems weave mythological and religious experiences from everyday life, and his free style shows influences from Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound, and Japanese haiku. Her works The Back Country (1967) and "Regarding Wave" (1969) reflect her inclination towards Eastern philosophy. In 1975, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Turtle Island (1974). Her other poetry collections include No Nature (1992), Mountains and Rivers Without End (1996, Bollingen Prize), and Danger on Peaks (2004). She also offers advice on environmental issues in her essays Earth House Hold (1969) and Back on the Fire: Essays (2007). She won the Ruth Lilly Award in 2008. Snyder |
