Synopsis

The Climb is a book of poetry that encompasses a wide range of experiences, moods, settings, and philosophies, all of which are based on biblical principles. Textured with the sights and sounds of modern schools, to church in the South, through the sunflower-ridden fields of Kansas, all the way to deserts and dark waters, these stunning poems tackle racism, depression, loss, and folly, but also love, hope, spirituality, wisdom, and potential. Through an aesthetic given to montage using an assortment of styles, these poems address the uneasy questions about relationships, love, death, forgiveness, riots, entitlement, and God's unfailing love in spite of us. Hightower assesses America's predominant fascinations with wealth, fame, pleasure, and acceptance. What is the meaning of life? How important is being accepted? Who are we beneath the surface of our flesh? These questions resonate within the halls of Hightower's poems, and seldom are the answers reflected back without first requiring the reader to ponder.
