"Mysticism is peculiar to the mountainbred," Frank Waters once told an interviewer for Psychology Today. And in Mountain Dialogues, available for the first time in paperback, the mountainbred Waters proves it true. Ranging over such diverse subjects as silence, spirits, time, change, and the sacred mountains of the world, Waters sounds again and again the radiant, mystic theme of man's inherent wholeness and his oneness with the cosmos.
Writing in Western American Literature, Charles L. Adams said, "In Mountain Dialogues, we see Frank Waters acknowledging his sources-major influences on a great American thinker and writer. Waters weaves together threads of these influences, adds his own thought, and presents us with a truly cosmic overview. This overview is thoroughly that of an American 'Westerner'; it also is one that merits international consideration."
And as the Bloomsbury Review wrote: "Mountain Dialogues is more than just a collection of personal essays. It is an 'evolutionist's handbook' for the sons and daughters of the new West, a guide for those who would transcend the limitations of Western civilization."
