Trip the light fantastic
O Mother Gaia: The World of Gary Snyder
An excellent film called O Mother Gaia: The World of Gary Snyder has been completed just in time for Gary's 95th birthday. The 100-minute film by Colin Still features extensive footage of Gary himself along with Allen Ginsberg, Michael McClure, Peter Coyote, Jane Hirschfield, Carol Koda (his late wife), and Jack Shoemaker (his publisher).
You can view the film for free at this link --any time before midnight this Sunday (May 11). After that time it will presumably be available only through ordinary film distribution. I encourage you to see it now while you have a chance.
Thank you!
Thank you, Stegiel. I wrote my senior honors thesis in 1971 on Gary Snyder's poetry. He's always compelled me as no other poet does. His poetry is the kind that brings visions.
I've always wondered what became of him. I'm so happy to hear that he still lives and thrives and, above all, is, apparently, contented and happy.
