Mountain Retreats

Meer over het boek

Exploring the profound connection between nature and health, this poetry collection features two cycles inspired by climbing poets. The first cycle delves into the Japanese Alps as the narrator confronts an unnamed illness. The second cycle employs the rock cycle's processes to grapple with mortality. Rich in imagery and references, the poems navigate a landscape of rising and falling thoughts, mirroring the paths of mountains while striving for clarity and understanding above the treetops.
