New Directions, 1969. Softcover. Good. 5x0x8. Covers rubbed; a good reading copy. Both Pound and Williams have shown a good poet can revitalize prose style. Earth House Hold (a play on the root meaning of "ecology"), drawn from Gary Snyder's essays and journals, may prove a landmark for the new generation. "As a poet," Snyder tells us, "I hold the most archaic values on earth. They go back to the late Paleolithic; the fertility of the soil, the magic of animals, the power-vision in solitude, the terrifying intuition and rebirth; the love and ecstasy of the dance, the common work of the tribe." He develops, as replacement for shattered social structures. a concept of tribal tradition which could lead to "growth and enlightenment in self-disciplined freedom. Whatever it is or ever was in any other culture can be reconstructed from the unconscious through meditation...the coming revolution will close the circle and link us in many ways with the most creative aspects of our archaic past., New Directions, 1969, 2.5, United States: Bantam, 2006. Fine. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Who would have thought that Thomas Bolden would become a successful Wall Street businessman, living the high life and about to become engaged to the perfect woman? Having grown up as "Tommy B from the wrong side of the tracks," Bolden is a bootstraps guy who managed to leave the past behind and carve out a nice life for himself--or so he thought. His world turns upside down when he is inexplicably kidnapped. His captors apparently think he has valuable information about something--but Bolden has no idea what. He's released, but his problems are far from over. Soon he becomes mired in a manhunt that forces him to tap into the street skills he learned as an orphan. As he runs for his life--literally--he uncovers secrets involving a bizarre club of corrupt politicos with roots extending back to the Founding Fathers. Bolden makes a captivating hero, as Reich uses the ordinary-man premise to good effect, engendering sympathy for a financier who never forgets his past. A first-rate, high-concept thriller that will leave readers breathless and cheering for Bolden to pull through., Bantam, 2006, 5<
