1981. 1st Edition. No Binding. Near Fine. A large broadside, 17.5 x 23 inches, on delicate cream paper featuring Snyder's poem "The Canyon Wren" in an artful wave-like pattern. One of 200 copies signed by the poet; this is number 33. The attributional line at bottom reads: "For James and Carol Katz - Stanislaus River - Camp 9 to Parrott's Ferry - April 40081" (that's 1981 in Snyder's measurement). The Stanislaus is a tributary of the San Joaquin, flowing into California's Central Valley out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Modesto. Very near fine with just a touch of light creasing to the lower left corner near his signature. A rare broadside that could command a wall and fill a home with river music daily. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

About Rural Hours

Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
