A SENSE OF THE WHOLE: READING GARY SNYDER’S MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS WITHOUT END
Book ID/图书代码： 03371015B81711
English Summary/英文概要： In 1997, Mark Gonnerman organized a yearlong research workshop on Gary Snyder’s Mountains and Rivers Without End at the Stanford Humanities Center. Members of what came to be known among faculty, students, and diverse community members as the Mountains & Rivers Workshop met regularly to read and discuss Snyder’s epic poem. Here the poem served as a commons that turned the multiversity into a university once again, if only for a moment.
The Workshop invited writers, teachers and scholars from Northern California and Japan to speak on various aspects of Snyder’s great accomplishment. This book captures the excitement of these gatherings and invites readers to enter the poem through essays and talks by David Abram, Wendell Berry, Carl Bielefeldt, Tim Dean, Jim Dodge, Robert Hass, Stephanie Kaza, Julia Martin, Michael McClure, Nanao Sakaki, and Katsunori Yamazato. It includes an interview with Gary Snyder, appendices, and other resources for further study.
Snyder once introduced a reading of this work with reference to whitewater rapids, saying most of his writing is like a Class III run where you will do just fine on your own, but that Mountains and Rivers is more like Class V: if you’re going to make it to take-out, you need a guide. As a collection of commentaries and background readings, this companion volume enhances each reader’s ability to find their way into and through an adventurous and engaging work of art.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 1997年，马克•哥乐曼曾就加里•斯奈德的长诗《无尽的山河》于斯坦福人文中心组织进行了一个长达一年的研究。该研究小组的成员来自于学院内部，学生以及各相关社会组织成员，该研究小组定期见面，阅读并探讨斯奈德的史诗作品。该诗作就像是一块共享的沃土，让不同的宇宙与世界再度统一，即便只是短暂性的统一。
该研究工作室邀请有来自北加利福尼亚州以及日本的许多作家，教师及学者们就斯奈德重大成就的方方面面进行发言。该书精选了这些研讨集会过程中的精彩部分，并通过论文以及大卫•阿布拉马，温德尔•贝瑞，卡尔•比勒菲尔德，提姆•迪恩，吉姆•道奇，罗伯特•哈斯，斯蒂芬妮•卡扎，茱莉亚•马丁，迈克尔•麦克克鲁尔，榊七尾，山里胜己等人的谈话，邀请读者们进入诗中的世界。本书还收入了加里•斯奈德的采访，并附有附录及其他未来研究可能涉及的其他资源。
斯奈德曾就阅读该诗作写过一篇引言，其中谈及了白水湍流，并指出其大部分作品就好像是一场第三层级的奔跑，只要随心所欲便可一切完美，然而《山河》这部诗作则更接近第四层级：如果希望让诗中的世界更加具体，那么你就需要一个指南。作为一个评论选集及背景阅读指南，本书将增强每一名读者在这部艺术作品中找到其自己的出路并深入体验这一艺术之旅的能力。(DC)
