Gary Snyder is considered one of the greatest American poets of the 20th century and a key figure of the Beat generation. Stylistically situated somewhere between Tu Fu and Thoreau, his innovative poetry has been influential across the world. This 50th anniversary edition reprints and celebrates Gary Snyder's first ever book of poems, Riprap, published in Japan in 1959 by Origin Press. It also includes Snyder's translations of Han Shan's Cold Mountain Poems, arguably one of the finest translations of that remarkable poet ever made into the English language.

Gary Snyder is the author of more than twenty collections of poetry and prose. Since 1970 he has lived in the watershed of the South Yuba River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1975, Snyder has also been awarded the Bollingen Prize for Poetry and the Robert Kirsch Lifetime Achievement Award. His 1992 collection, No Nature, was a National Book Award finalist, and in 2008 he received the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize. Snyder is a poet, environmentalist, educator and Zen Buddhist.
