We chose Snyder's poem for the project both because the author's association with Japan - where the scroll is a common way to present literature (Snyder lived for a short time in Japan, and his early work was translating Zen poetry) -- and because his later work, as a poet writing about man's relation to the environment and nature, was influential on everyone in our generation who ever thought of moving back to the land or taking a backpack trip in the Sierra. The poem Piute Creek is generally considered Snyder's breakthrough poem, where he found his voice as poet for the environment and the American west. The poem guided our aesthetic decisions. The illustrations were made using sprayed pulp, the linoleum blocks printed with transparent ink, and the sections of the scroll sewed together creating wave like connections, all as references to the water of Piute Creek. The wood blocks that hold the scroll were milled from Ponderosa Pine, as it grows around Piute Creek. Early in his career Snyder had been a beat poet, and was featured in Jack Kerouac's Dharma Bums as Japhey Ryder who led the epic hike into Yosemite. Ryder's first words in Kerouac's novel were 'mud is better than words,' which are a Zen-like summary of the Piute Creek poem. We stamped those words, using transparent ink, into the back cover of our book, underneath the scroll. To make the printing visible we dusted the ink with finely sifted dirt we had collected near Piute Creek. When we first read Dharma Bums we were struck by the quaintness of Kerouac's constant reference to backpacks as 'little rucksacks.' This led us to house Piute Creek in an informal canvas bag rather than the more traditional clamshell box." -- $c From Peter and Donna Thomas' website $u http://www.baymoon.com/~peteranddonna/2-Piute.htm 500 $a Caption title. 500 $a Artists' book comprised of scroll (4 unnumbered leaves sewn together; approximately 186 x 16 cm unrolled) affixed to wooden frame (28 x 19 cm) mounted within casing (paper-covered boards, leather spine, printed and stitched paper label on cover). 500 $a Afterword by Tom Killion. 500 $a "This book was made by Peter and Donna Thomas.
