Summary: A book of poems, some related to Longs Peak.,
Comment: All written by Chester Wickwire, poet, chaplain, activist, philosopher, mediator. Its title suggests that Longs Peak, a tangible monolith, is the subject of the author's work. Its subject is, indeed, Longs Peak, but mostly in its ethereal, metaphysical frame.

Many who have walked in the shadow of Longs Peak, or have stood upon its summit, have been deeply affected by the experience. Some, like Wickwire, find their lives changed in the process. Now all of the challenges of the past, and the uncertainties of the future, become framed in a unique language whose words developed special meaning there.

Good poetry takes you by the hand and leads you in paths trod earlier by the poet, showing you sparkling trinkets and wonderful treasures along the way. Wickwire does this well. But, being a realist, he also shows the sadness and decay between the baubles. All seen through the eyes of one who has thought long on deep things.

Don't buy this book to read specifically about Longs Peak, the three dimensional. Obtain it to peer beyond three dimensions, into a more distant world... the world of the human mind.
