Gary Snyder Poems

After reading some of Gary Snyder's poems I feel his writing is really geared towards making people understand the environment is a living thing. He uses very descriptive language when describing places and objects like pine trees. The descriptive language really drives the reader to understand these objects as more than that. The reader has to focus on them as living, breathing, entities that deserve our respect. I think a huge theme within all these poems is respect for everything living thing.
