Youth and Mountains

In this collection of short stories and poems the author writes about wilderness and the exuberance of being young and knowing that limitless possibilities are in front of you. He also explores the fear of not taking on your dreams, the fear of losing freedom, the coming of a new kind of hero in the world, the quest to find the wildest places on earth, a cynical man who has given up his activism to find a piece of nature for himself, and a man who has lost the most important thing in his life and finds happiness again where you wouldn't expect. But mostly these stories and poems are about the invigorated spirit you feel when wild places are put in front of you.
