Regarding Wave: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Regarding Wave" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Wild nature as the ultimate ground of human affairs--The beautiful, precarious balance among forces and species forms a unifying theme for the new poems in this collection. The title, Regarding Wave, reflects a half-buried series of word origins dating back through the Indo-European language: intersections of energy, woman, song and Gone Beyond Wisdom. Central to the work is a cycle of songs for Snyders wife, Masa, and their first son, Kai. Probing even further than Snyders previous collection of poems, The Back Country, this new volume freshly explores the most archaic values on earth ... the fertility of the soil, the magic of animals, the power-vision in solitude, the terrifying initiation and rebirth, the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe ...

FOR MASA REGARDING WAVE I WAVE Grooving clam shell streakt through marble - photo 1FOR MASA

REGARDING WAVE I
WAVE
Grooving clam shell, streakt through marble, sweeping down ponderosa pine bark-scale rip-cut tree grain sand-dunes, lava flow Wave wife. womanwyfman veiled; vibrating; vague sawtooth ranges pulsing; veins on the back of the hand. Forkt out: birdsfoot-alluvium wash great dunes rolling Each inch rippld, every grain a wave. Leaning against sand cornices til they blow away
wind, shake stiff thorns of cholla, ocotillo sometimes I get stuck in thickets Ah, trembling spreading radiating wyf racing zebra catch me and fling me wide To the dancing grain of things of my mind!
SEED PODS
Seed pods seen inside while high, trip of fingers to the farthest limits of the thigh waft of sticky fluid, cypress resin from peach valley under walls of rock
Ferghana horses archt rearing, fucking tiny seed pods caught and carried in the fur
foot-pad fetlock slipping tongue A pawtrack windfall if my seed too float into you colord blood and apricot weavd with thread girls moons later let it be come staind on their soil ledge tilth fucking bed. seed pod burrs, fuzz, twist-taQed nut-babies in my fucking head. household laps, gum tea buds. new houses, found wed on block pie. sa. bring back thick walls, (cools my poison, poison, Scorpio itch, tick)
dreaming of
babies All over Mendocino County wrappt in wild iris leaves.
SAND
From the desert? when will be sand again, blowing sand drifting sand dunes at Bandon Oregon sheltering in a shed of driftwood, naked, kelp whip driving sand sends swallows flying shirakawa. white river sand. what they rake out at Ryan-ji; clean crumbled creek-washed rotted granite quartz & feldspar sand. what they rake out at Ryan-ji; clean crumbled creek-washed rotted granite quartz & feldspar sand.

I went there once to check the prices bulk white sand to buy black-burnt workers spade it thru a flume
the sands of the Ganges all the grains of the sands of the sea. blowing sand running water. I slept up on your body; walkt your vadleys and your hills;
sandbox sandpaper sandy.

BY THE TAMA RIVER AT THE NORTH END OF THE PLAIN IN APRIL
Round smooth stones up here in the weeds the air a grey wet, Across the Tama river a screen drum turns sorting gravel: dumping loads in dump trucks one by one. Deep in the hills the water might be clean Grilling raw squid over smoky twigs a round screen perched on broken bricks Masa bending on the rocks Staring close to the water, Nanao and Nagasawa with their lifted cups of shochu.
THE WIDE MOUTH
A thick snow soft falling the whole house open.
Snowflakes build up on a single dark green spray of pine
The sparrow swung and shrieked in a swish of snowy clustered points.
Shew his wide pink mouth. house-cleaning.
Not a sound, white world, great trouble.
IN THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
Skinny kids in shorts get cups full of rice-gruelsteaming breakfastsling their rifles, walk hot thickets. eyes peeled for U S planes. eyes peeled for U S planes.

Kyoto a bar girl in pink with her catch for the night but its already morninghalf dazed, neat suit, laugh toward bed, A guy I worked at logging with in Oregon fiddles his new lead-belcher cannons in South Yiieh. tuned better than chainsaws, at dawn, he liked mush, with raisins. Sleeping out all night in warm rain. Viet Nam uplands burned-off jungles wipe out a few rare birds Fish in the rice paddy ditches stream a dry foul taste thru their gills New Asian strains of clap whip penic ill in. Making toast, heating coffee, blue as Shiva did I drink some filthy poison will I ever leam to love? Did I really have to kill my sick, sick cat. half-done concrete freeway overpass, digging to bury my own shit a chopped up body mixed with shit and towels
and then, a disembowelled, half-skinned horse-sized white wolf bitch lying on its side in a pool of half-melted snow, a snowbank around her, icy melt water staining red, the red of blood spreading into the white snow. she moved, stirred, And I thought, my God. still alive.

REGARDING WAVE II
SONG OF THE CLOUD
Sloped-down shark nose, high frilly taildorsal fins flat sweeping gestures.
REGARDING WAVE II
SONG OF THE CLOUD
Sloped-down shark nose, high frilly taildorsal fins flat sweeping gestures.

Ah, puked out. sweep the sea. broom my rear is soft
Three, and their retinue, move up between slender, with dignity, WE pile up, pile up, our deep-mounting pleasure in our richness is not chaos. scatterings and plains, placings.
Brothers moving elsewhere visible and tall, but far away.

SONG OF THE TANGLE
Two thigh hills hold us at the fork round mount center
we sit all folded on the dusty planed planks of a shrine drinking top class sak that was left for the god.
calm tree halls the sun past the summit heat sunk through the vines, twisted sasa
cicada singing, swirling in the tangle
the tangle of the thigh
the brush through which we push
SONG OF THE SLIP
SLEPT folded in girls feeling their folds; whorls; the lips, leafs, of the curling soft-sliding serpent-sleep dream.
SONG OF THE VIEW
Line of brow, purst mouth blue straight seamless snapless dress O! cunt that which you suck into yourself, that you hold there, hover over, excellent emptiness your whole flesh is wrappt around, the
hollow you bear to bear,
shows its power and place in the grace of your glance
SONG OF THE TASTE
Eating the living germs of grasses Eating the ova of large birds
the fleshy sweetness packed around the sperm of swaying trees
The muscles of the flanks and thighs of soft-voiced cows the bounce in the lambs leap the swish in the oxs tail Eating roots grown swoll inside the soil Drawing on life of living clustered points of light spun out of space hidden in the grape.

Eating each others seed eating ah, each other. Kissing the lover in the mouth of bread: lip to lip.

KYOTO BORN IN SPRING SONG
Beautiful little children found in melons, in bamboo, in a strangely glowing warbler egg a perfect baby girl baby, baby, tiny precious mice and worms:
Great majesty of Dharma turning Great dance of Vajra power lizard baby by the fern centipede baby scrambling toward the wall cat baby left to mew for milk alone mouse baby too afraid to run
O sing born in spring the weavers swallows babies in Nishijin nests below the eaves glinting mothers wings swoop to the sound of looms
and three fat babies with three human mothers every morning doing laundry good morning hows your baby? Tomoharu, Itsuko, and Kenji
Mouse, begin again. Bushmen are laughing at the coyote-tricking that made us think machines
wild babies in the ferns and plums and weeds.
ARCHAIC ROUND AND KEYHOLE TOMBS
One child rides a bike Her blue dress flutters about her gliding white-clad hips
