A Poet Finds Life Lessons on Hunger Mountain

Hunger mountain's peak. Steve Paulson (TTBOOK)

Is there a special mountain in your life? David Hinton, who lives in Vermont, told us about the one he knows best — Hunger Mountain - which he's climbed around 300 times. His thinking about mountains has been shaped by his many years of translating ancient Chinese poetry.

Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations is a five-volume series exploring our deep interconnections with the living world and the interdependence that exists between humans and nonhuman beings. More than 70 contributors—including Robin Wall Kimmerer, Richard Powers, Sharon Blackie, David Abram, and J. Drew Lanham—render possibilities for becoming better kin and invite us into the ways we can deepen our care and respect for the whole community of life.

Co-edited by Gavin Van Horn, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and John Hausdoerffer
