		In Phillips' chapter "Nature and Poetry of Lew Welch," he gives some background information about Welch, who was born in Arizona and moved often throughout his childhood, with his one constant being books by folks like Ernest Thompson Seton, a naturalist and an author, and Robert Service, who wrote about the Alaskan wilderness.
		As with Kerouac's temporary metamorphoses, Welch also began to flee societal constructs—like his career—lived at a commune, began studying zazen, and grew more biocentric, which is reflected in his poem "Wobbly Rock," of which Phillips gives an illustrative analysis.
		Eventually, Welch found a job as a fisherman, and Phillips says, "Welch's writings from his days in San Francisco's salmon fleet indicate that what he most valued in the work was not the paycheck (although the money was good at times), but instead the closeness to natural forces" (the real work).
