tonyv Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Very Snyder-like, reminiscent of one of my favorites. I felt like I was there, how I would have wanted to be!

dr_con Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Thank You both - I am assuming Gary Snyder? Who turned 90 the day this was written although I did not know and had not read snyder in years so was doubly wowed;-) J 1 Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Baez Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Quote ...how I would have wanted to be! Tony, you might not have wanted to be, if you were one of the deer. I got the sense that it all depended on Quote how it comes-out in the end. Reading this poem, I found myself wanting to relax and luxuriate in the presence of wild nature, but unable to do quite so, fearing for the safety of the deer! I'm not sure this was an intended insinuation, Juris, but it created an interesting psychological effect for me, certainly worthy of poetic exploration. Incidentally, I'm happy to say I had the privilege of attending a lecture by Snyder some years ago at the Freer Sackler Gallery--he even signed my program. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Wow AB! Cool! I've seen a few poets over the years- alas Snyder eluded me;-) Thanks all for the comments and well, no deer was harmed in the making of this poem;-) (The time in quarantine has gotten strange (r) 😉 DC&J 1 Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Baez Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Glad to hear your poem was cruelty-free, and I wish I could have seen all the poets you have! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
