wonderful book - 40 years of Gary Snyder's & Wendell Berry's letters

This wonderful collection from Gary Snyder's and Wendell Berry's 40-year friendship is simply a stunning collection of wisdom and insights. Because they lived across the country from one another, visits were relatively few, but these two gifted writers, poets, teachers, and wise cultural figures show their shared concern for the ecological crises we face, their unfolding awareness of current policy and political issues, their deeply-held values - and in many cases, their carefully thought-out differences and disagreements. Through it all, their shared friendship and support of each other shines through.  Very worthwhile!
