Riprap: a cobble of stone laid on steep, slick rock to make a trail for horses in the mountains. Forty-five years ago, Snyder's first book of poems, "Riprap," was published by Origin Press in a beautiful paperbound edition stitched Japanese-style.
This is Snyder's first published collection (1959), and the first thing I have read from him. IKt is a mix of his own poetry (Riprap), Cold Mountain Poems are translated and by the Chinese poet Han-shan, who lived AD 600s or 700s.
My favorites here are the ones about the Sierra Nevada and outdoor work: Hay for the Horses, Thin Ice, the Piute Creek poems. While reading I wondered where Piute Creek is, as they reminded me of Fresno County around Shaver Lake (particularly the granite). The Afterword explains that he worked in Yosemite along Piute Creek--so not far at all from Shaver. Same granite formation, most likely.
I am curious about Snyder's later work--there is A LOT, and he also won a Pulitzer. ( )
This is two chapbooks in one. Riprap, originally published by Origin Press in 1959, are Snyder's own poems. The Cold Mountain section are Snyder's translations of some of the poems of the Tang Chinese poet Han-shan. I liked the Cold Mountain section better than the first. I found Han-shan's poetry more immediate and simpler. Which is not to say there is anything wrong with Snyder's own poetry. I went on from this book to read other Snyder. ( )

Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout Down valley a smoke haze | Three days heat, after five days rain | Pitch glows on the fir-cones | Across rocks and meadows | Swarms of new flies. | I cannot remember things I once read | A few friends, but they are in cities. | Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup | Looking down for miles | Through high still air. --Gary Snyder
The path to Han-Shan's place is laughable, | A path, but no sign of cart or horse. | Converging gorges--hard to trace their twists | Jumbled cliffs--unbelievably rugged. | A thousand grasses bend with dew. | A hill of pines hums in the wind. | And now I've lost the shortcut home, | Body asking shadow, how do you keep up? --Cold Mountain (Han-Shan)
