"First Mountain" is a interconnected suite of poems about a particular place - Jasper, Alberta.

Paulette DubA(c) has lived there for more than a decade and her keen sense of the area and the healing powers of the natural world - seeking solitude, washing away stress, and celebrating the intimacy that is experienced by living in a pristine environment - shapes the emotional backbone of "First Mountain." The poetry's measured cadence, meditative chanting, accessibility and serenity have great appeal. Considering that DubA(c) is at peak performance in her craft will only add to the enjoyment factor.
