    Ah! From the long distinguished Thoreauean School! Have you read any of
Gary Snyder's poetry or Sam Hamill's? Strongly recommended... also
poet/linguist Arthur Sze's _Redshifting Web: Poems 1970-1998_ is also a very fine,
immensely enjoyable read - Sze writes intensely musical & warm, friendly poetry that
is quite like the best innovative T'ang Dynasty Chinese poetry, but nicely
adapted to modernity and living in starkly beautiful New Mexico, working amongst
Native Americans (he is a professor of creative writing at the Institute of
American Indian Arts) ...
