Overview

'Falling Off the Mountain' is a collection of poems that describe the subjective experience of a young man growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, who became a mountaineer (climber) in the Sierras Nevada Mountains and the Alps of German, Austrian and Switzerland's Alpine region. Written in a free-flowing manner, they encapsulate and capture many of the experiences of the 70s and 80s.

I am well acquainted with the mind that produced these paeans to the always uncertain, yet often illuminating experiences of a thoughtfully reflective member of North American sub-rosa culture and society, and I can unequivocally state that few (if any) readers will have the foggiest understanding of or appreciation for what is said in the pages of this book. -Renfrew Hunckelburt Passenfurter, PhD (University of Halawa, HI) A disturbed parasympathetic voyage through the minefields of meso-American culture, undertaken by an individual who is about as qualified to claim poetic talent as a petrified elephant fewmet. -Johannes Steinbok (author of 'Catenary Row') A delightfully egregious romp through the polysyllabic wasteland of contemporary totems of teleological irreducibility, documenting sensations, feelings, impressions and sensations that could never be artificially reproduced in a mere laboratory study of higher sentient life form responses to actual organic life experience. You shall either love it or hate it, but you will be unable to remain untouched in some uncomfortable aspect by the incredible verbal superfluities the author has taken such great and broadly improbable liberties with. -P. Ucker Phaktir, MD Impossibly impish in its total disregard for the conventions of classical poetic literature, its brashly impetuous stylisations and the flagrantly impossible ineptness of its many tangential circumlocutions. -Jonathan Smegma III Clearly, the author has flown higher in his own imagination than his brief career associations with the aerospace and aviation community would intimate; read this book with all the caution normally expected of a dyslexic flight test pilot doing initial stall checks on a Cold War Era Soviet MiG-17PF fighter with its original (unmodified) Tumansky engine! -Igor V. Updannovitch, Col. (Soviet Air Force, retired) Auwe! Mo da kine stuffs you gets fum too much Maui pacalolo! Dis no malama pono, for'shoa! Li'dat! -Okole Hao
