Into Autumn

This book is called Into Autumn because these poems are written from the perspective of a certain stage of life. If life were divided into seasons the narrative is from the autumn point of view. The poems are divided into the four seasons. The Spring poems are about childhood: planting caring rooting and waiting. Summer poems are about becoming an adult: creating producing reproducing and growing. The Autumn poems are about reaching maturity: trimming harvesting organizing and resting. The Winter poems are about hibernation and preparing to go dormant.
