Lucas Roman is a nursing student, climber, and omnia foras, who once bagged dirt in sacred lands tied across the broad highways. His book,
Aperture Alike, is a collection of short stories about the internal landscapes, the inner character swings and the unplanned arcs of both the professionals and the laymen alike, who have devoted themselves to an outside craft, and to defining themselves apart from it. Climbing, BASE, highlining, and distance running included, Aperture Alike is about community, about people pursuing their own immutable center point, in the midst of a life defined by trials and tribulation.
