Thank you to Faye Latham for her meaningful pre-publication endorsement of Among the Pale Spires: The Life and Verse of Antonia Pozzi, Alpine Poet by David Smart 🏔🌻📝

“David Smart traces the life and poetry of Antonia Pozzi with depth and clarity, and she emerges from his vision as a tour de force – unredacted, thrilling, and politically resonant. Through his own brilliant lyricism, Smart affirms Pozzi’s singular way of writing about the natural world, particularly her profound engagement with mountain landscapes as spaces of resistance. In doing so, he immortalizes her place in literary history while further establishing himself as a distinguished and authoritative voice in the field of historical mountain writing.” —Faye Latham, poet and author of British Mountaineers

Among the Pale Spires will be available this October! Place your pre-order today and be among the first to dive into Smart’s brilliant portrait of an important voice in mountain history 🌱🖤 https://rmbooks.com/products/among-the-pale-spires
