Part two is at    • Gary Snyder reads in Seattle, 2009 Part 2 ...  . If you know anything about Gary Snyder, then you can understand why we here at North Cascades Institute were incredibly excited about his reading. Strands of Snyder are interwoven in to the Institute, our mission and our North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, and his poetry and ideas have a totemic presence in our work. The 50 years of poetry, interviews and essays that Snyder has produced has educated, inspired and illuminated us in many different ways. Some of us came out west after reading one of his books on the mountains and trails of our region. Others have been impacted by his writing about community, culture, watersheds, ecology and sustainability — concepts he was exploring decades before they became influential buzzwords in our society. I know of people that have become fire lookouts or trail workers, poets or environmental educators, Buddhists or off-the-grid pioneers in part because of the example Snyder set in both his lifestyle and his writing.
