Gary Snyder Draws Thumper

More on Gary Snyder’s ‘danger on peaks’. The second section consists of short poems, very eastern in their structure and content. Although I hear Robinson Jeffers in this one:

Busy Jackrabbit

Busy jackrabbit on the ground
thick furry brindled coat
little black tailtip
back of the neck ate out,
life for an owl.

Gary Snyder: danger on peaks (p. 27)

Jeffers meets Cold Mountain, and never to be animated by Disney.
