""Axe Handles presents poems that reflect a fine balance between physical reality and inner insight. Snyder emphasizes natural cycles, sees the oneness of things rather than their separateness, observes directly without pretense or arrogance... His sense of the history of land and cultures and his ability to write as both the Worker and the Thinker create a fertile whole.""
