Sun Journal Interviews Kent about New Book

The Sun Journal spoke with Richard Kent, an associate professor in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Maine, about his new book, “Words of a Mountain.” The book is a collection of essays, poems and photographs in celebration of the small-town ski area of Black Mountain and the surrounding community in the River Valley near the Maine towns of Rumford and Mexico. Kent grew up ski racing on Black Mountain and returned in the late 1970s to ski coach and run programs at the mountain for 21 years.
