Happy Birthday, Gary Snyder! May your day be as timeless and enduring as "Mountains and Rivers Without End," yet filled with more laughter than a Beat Generation poetry reading. Your words have guided us through "A Place in Space," reminding us to tread lightly on our beloved "Turtle Island."Here's hoping your birthday is free of writer's block, full of poetic inspiration, and that the Pulitzer Prize on your shelf doesn't overshadow today's cake. Keep blazing trails through nature and verse—after all these years, you're still the coolest beatnik around. Cheers to another year of wisdom, wilderness adventures, and literary brilliance!
