“stay together learn the flowers go light” ― Gary Snyder

I will be in a class that Gary Snyder is teaching tomorrow! It’s only open to the Kerouac School, before his reading at night that is sure to sell out and be super crazy. I haven’t been into Snyder as much as some of the other Beats but I have a whole huge book of his poetry and essays and whatnot that I’ve been starting to read, and honestly I’ll probably just be dazzled to be in the presence of a Pulitzer winner who’s accomplished so much - and was immortalized as Japhy Ryder by Kerouac in The Dharma Bums. What more could you ask for, right?
I’m already so grateful to Naropa and the Kerouac School for exposing me to such incredible people, even after only being here for less than a year. It’s almost worth the price of tuition alone.

My darling Bowie, who taught me that being a freak is pretty okay, and can be pretty lucrative as well.
