The High Sierra of California

Poems and Journals of Gary Snyder; Woodcuts by Tom Killion

The High Sierra of California is a brilliant tribute to the bold, jagged peaks that have inspired generations of naturalists, artists, and writers. Using traditional Japanese and European woodcut techniques, Killion has created stunning visual images of the Sierra that focus on the backcountry above nine thousand feet, accessible only on foot. Accompanying these riveting images are the journals of Gary Snyder, chronicling more than forty years of travels through the High Sierra backcountry.

Published in conjunction with the Yosemite Conservancy August 2005, paperback, 11.5 x 9, 128 pages, with 23 full-color woodcuts and b&w illustrations throughout
