Andrew Hudgins needed to change his life. He was spiraling downward. After spending years caring for his father and his divorce that followed, he was determined to make a new man of himself.Join him in his decision making process that led him to conquer Costa Rica's highest mountain, Cerro Chirripo.During this voyage of dicovery he finds a new way of life. Ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and happier existence than he had ever known.

Recklessness and rigor, in equal measure, mark the stirring poetics of Andrew Hudgins in this fine new book. Hudgins can wrestle a rhyme scheme into submission with one hand tied behind his back and can penetrate the black heart of history with a single, subtly rendered detail. He laughs with Democritus and weeps with Heraclitus and, line by distillate line, contrives a tonic antidote to the acetone / of American inattention. Linda Gregerson
