An evening poetry reading and conversation with Pulitzer Prize–winning poet, Gary Snyder.

Gary Snyder is a Pulitzer Prize–winning poet with a radical vision that integrates Zen Buddhism, American Indian practices and ecological thinking. He began his career in the 1950s as a noted member of the Beat Generation and was also a part of the San Francisco Renaissance. This evening event will be an opportunity to engage Snyder about his experiences as a poet in the United States, his time as a Zen monk in Japan, and the impact of his thinking on social and ecological issues in American society, both in the past and today.

 A Visions and Voice Event organized by Duncan Williams (Religion and Center for Japanese Religions and Cultures) and Varun Soni (Religious Life).
