Great Regulars: [Gary] Snyder was right, and thanks

to a Portland photographer who made a copy of Tape 1 and kept it for more than 20 years, another important literary find has been uncovered and preserved. The new tape is the first recording of Snyder reading his poems. It contains the earliest known working version of his long poem "Myths & Texts," numerous other poems that later appeared in his books "Riprap," "The Back Country," and "Left Out in the Rain," and unpublished poems.
