Turtle Island
Turtle Island | Gary Snyder
6 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
These Pulitzer Prize-winning poems and essays by the author of No Nature range from the lucid, lyrical, and mystical to the political. All, however, share a common vision: a rediscovery of North America and the ways by which we might become true natives of the land for the first time.

Mehso-so

I have really read any poetry since college, and while this was pretty good, I don't think I'll seek out more anytime soon. There were also some essays at the end that, while I'm sure were important at the time, don't add anything new to the conversation about environmentalism today. Overall, just okay to me.

1. I prefer outdoor adventures in the forest or on the ocean, but there‘s something special about wandering around a city on a warm summer night.
2. Mountains and beach (I can‘t select just one!)
3. Horseback riding into the mountains.
4. Hmmm... I adore camping (though glamping might be fun for a change) and I love staying in a nice BnB or hotel when possible.
5. Turtle Island by Gary Snyder (my favorite “nature” poet)

Okay @Lindy I signed up for the Indigenous Canada course and watched the Introduction. Okay!! Turtle Island : now fully understand it! Here at the University of Windsor we've renamed the main street on campus Turtle Island Walk and will have a dedication ceremony soon. We've had Turtle Island Aboriginal Centre on campus for years. I'll have to take some pictures of the banners that are now hanging along the walkway.

Lindy Excellent! 7y
