Beatniks in Gardens: "The Bath"

article image placeholderUploaded by @kendallmilender
However, I think the interesting thing is this is no less than nature poem, but it moves away from that individuality of Snyder just kind of observing his own intimacy, his own nakedness with the Earth, because in The Bath he includes his wife and his two sons. So in that sense, there's kind of this two way intimacy happening there, right where it's like Snyder's intimacy with nature and his own personal connection. And then that's his family and their broader connection

Discussing Gary Snyder’s "The Bath" within the broader Beatnik mindscape.
