For several decades Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder has been one of the most recognizable and provocative figures on the contemporary scene, one who has commanded the attention of a large and diverse readership through the clarity, range, and originality of his vision. Left Out in the Rain charts the evolution of the poet and the man through a generous selection of poems, saved over the years, which have not appeared in any of Snyder's previous books.
