Autumn Journal was an exercise written to explore poetry as process; A way to explore my locations and emotions in a three week period around the start of Autumn.
I want to acknowledge as inspiration The Narrow Road To The Deep North by Matsuo Bashō, the writing of Kate Camp and my brother's prodigious journal.
I also want to acknowledge Kāi Tahu and Kāti Māmoe, the tākata whenua of the land I live off and have written around.
This collection is dedicated to Erin Graham and Grandma.
