Description
These posthumously published poems served as an inspiration for teh CBC/Vision TV documentary I Am a Rose, which filmed the poet's father's arduous completion of his daughter's climb up Mt. Ixta in Mexico, which had been cut short for her by a storm. This collection, as well as Stacey Levitt's story, have become known by climbers from around the world.
