Snyder is among those writers who have sought to dis-entrench conventional thinking about primitive peoples that has viewed them as simple-minded, ignorantly superstitious, brutish, and prone to violent emotionalism. In the 1960s Snyder developed a "neo-tribalist" view[46] akin to the "post-modernist" theory of French Sociologist Michel Maffesoli. The "re-tribalization" of the modern, mass-society world envisioned by Marshall McLuhan, with all of the ominous, dystopian possibilities that McLuhan warned of, subsequently accepted by many modern intellectuals, is not the future that Snyder expects or works toward. Snyder's is a positive interpretation of the tribe and of the possible future
Mid-August
He wrote this poem when he worked as a forest fire watcher.
In Snyder's "Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout," the patient description of the valley in the first stanza triggers the step-by-step withdrawal into the self in the second.
Snyder begins the second stanza by shifting the focus to himself, acknowledging the fact that he is also not immune to the effects of time, since he »cannot remember things he once read«. Already in the next line, he again shifts focus on his friends who, in contrast to him, are in cities, living carelessly, not being aware of the fact that life is passing them by.
