Description

When I got the idea last September to start the Wise Talkers podcast in search of actionable wisdom that can help us navigate today’s turbulent world, I knew just where to start: with an interview I conducted with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gary Snyder… 45 years ago!
Gary’s extensive knowledge of Indigenous cultures and ancient wisdom informs his eloquent advocacy for appropriate technology in a lower-energy future, and living a simpler, more communal lifestyle in harmony with nature.
The episode begins with a few minutes of background on Gary Snyder, and then a re-play of my 1979 interview. I close with a few brief reflections on why Gary’s wise words spoken then are still relevant today. 
Finally, I read one of Gary Snyder’s poems, with a special musical background.
