Authored by the accomplished mountaineer and legal professional, Alan V. Goldman, this remarkable collection of one hundred and thirty-eight narrative-style poems captures the essence of life’s deepest struggles and triumphs through the lens of mountaineering.
In this highly anticipated edition, Goldman delves into over thirty years of climbing experiences, interlacing a narrative that offers a rare glimpse into the moral dilemmas, awe-inspiring moments (which may be death-defying to some), and philosophical reflections that mirror our daily lives but are magnified in the high mountains.

Reflecting on the challenges and beauty of the mountains, Goldman’s poems offer readers an intense meditation on the nature of reality. His transfixing verses explore themes such as awe, fear, the allure of the majestic peaks, and the role of luck and fate. Goldman’s unique perspective exposes the hidden truths that mountaineers encounter at high altitudes, ultimately making these perplexing insights accessible to the general public.
Reflections on Mountaineering transcend the realm of mountaineering and dive into the very essence of life itself. Readers will find themselves pondering the meaning of existence, the human perception of reality, and the almost “uncanny” connection between climbers and the mountains they ascend.
Goldman’s poetic mastery also touches on the challenges climbers face, the fluidity of time in the mountains, situational awareness, and the overpowering presence of nature. Each poem encapsulates a distinct facet of the mountaineering experience, drawing readers into the entrancing world of mountain exploration.
The emotions stirred by success and the resilience required in the face of defeat are the highlights of these pages. Beyond the physical conquest of mountains, Reflections on Mountaineering tours us into a philosophical journey that is intrinsic to the discipline of mountaineering.
Alan V. Goldman, the distinguished author of this literary masterpiece, boasts an impressive educational background, having graduated from The Horace Mann School, Harvard College, and Harvard Law School. He has skillfully balanced his mountaineering adventures with a successful law career spanning many years. Today, as a retired professional, his focus remains on sharing his invaluable insights and experiences with the world.
Experience the fun of mountaineering firsthand by purchasing a copy of the book. Available on Authors Press, Amazon, and more online book retailers.
