While the Vermont-based writer and climber believes she was indeed born to write poetry, she didn\u2019t start pursuing it professionally until age 29.  Before that, she traveled the world, from Africa\u2019s Mt. Kilimanjaro to Turkey\u2019s Mt. Ararat to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, before making her way back to Vermont, the state where she grew up. Audsley\u2019s work has been widely published, including her debut collection titled Landlock X. Her poetry and writing has also graced the pages of Alpinist, with poems published in issues 65 and 74, as well as an interview with Ed Roberson in Alpinist 71. In this conversation, Audsley reads two select works, reflects on the idea of elective suffering, and relishes the elevated perspective climbing provides.  This episode is brought to you by Rab Equipment Alpinist Magazine: Website | Instagram | Facebook Host: Abbey Collins Guest: Sarah Audsley Producer + Engineer: Mike Horn Photos by Anne Skidmore   ","author_name":"Alpinist","author_url":"http:\/\/alpinist.com\/podcast","html":"
