Naturalist and poet Gary Snyder

Marta invited me to see Gary Snyder tonight at Benaroya Hall. Magic, music and humor makes poetry happen... His ideas on ecology are smart too; I've heard these things said by UW professors as well. His best poetry is his most recent! Check him out! Wonderful man...brought to se him by a wonderful woman, Marta!
