Riprap, originally published by Origin Press in 1959, are Snyder's own poems. The Cold Mountain section are Snyder's translations of some of the poems of the Tang Chinese poet Han-shan. I liked the Cold Mountain section better than the first. I found Han-shan's poetry more immediate and simpler. Which is not to say there is anything wrong with Snyder's own poetry. I went on from this book to read other Snyder. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Riprap: a cobble of stone laid on steep, slick rock to make a trail for horses in the mountains. Forty-five years ago, Snyder's first book of poems, "Riprap," was published by Origin Press in a beautiful paperbound edition stitched Japanese-style. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This is Snyder's first published collection (1959), and the first thing I have read from him. IKt is a mix of his own poetry (Riprap), Cold Mountain Poems are translated and by the Chinese poet Han-shan, who lived AD 600s or 700s.
My favorites here are the ones about the Sierra Nevada and outdoor work: Hay for the Horses, Thin Ice, the Piute Creek poems. While reading I wondered where Piute Creek is, as they reminded me of Fresno County around Shaver Lake (particularly the granite). The Afterword explains that he worked in Yosemite along Piute Creek--so not far at all from Shaver. Same granite formation, most likely.
I am curious about Snyder's later work--there is A LOT, and he also won a Pulitzer. ( )
