Snyder, Gary. Regarding wave. (San Francisco : Printed for Don Allen by Grabhorn-Hoyem, 1967).
David Rafael Wang : Snyder uses many titles in Regarding wave, that remind us of the 'yin' symbol. Some of these titles include : Sand, Running water music, Beating wings, All the spirit power went to their dancing place, Long hair, Pleasure boats, Willow, and The good earth. In all these titles we find the common denominator of fluidity, for sand, music, outspread wings, dancing, long hair, boats undulating, swaying willow trees, and the soil of the earth all share a natural rhythm and flow. And this rhythm and flow in nature, according to Snyder, is precisely the rhythm and flow of poetry as well.
