review: Editorial Reviews Review “[This] book will be the foundation for all future examinations of this important literary work.” — Western American Literature “Suggestive and rich in lore and ideas, Anthony Hunt’s explications will open the poems up for readers but at the same time—in my opinion—leave plenty of territory for them to find their own insights. These are informed, playful, creative commentaries that don’t impose themselves on the text but complement it.” — Gary Snyder “Anthony Hunt’s book will certainly become the standard against which all other discussion of Gary Snyder’s poetry will be measured. Hunt has provided a thorough, multidisciplinary study. He knows Mountains and Rivers Without End better than anyone else besides Snyder.” — Patrick D. Murphy , author of A Place for Wayfaring: The Poetry and Prose of Gary Snyder About the Author Anthony Hunt taught courses in modern and American literature at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez for thirty years. Well-known and well-published as a scholar of Gary Snyder’s work, Hunt focused his academic research on Snyder’s monumental long poem, Mountains and Rivers Without End , for more than two decades.
