Chapbook Collaboration: Autumn in a Solitary Time

In the fall of 2020, when most of us were home-bound, isolated and fearful, photographer Michael Craig Palmer took pictures of the glorious fall shades of trees and leaves in a few of the parks, public gardens and preserves in and around the Hudson Valley. Michael invited me to find words for his photographs, resulting in a collaboration of words and images between two strangers that became Autumn in a Solitary Time, the Hudson Valley 2020.

This book is a celebration of the astonishing and enduring beauty of nature, as well as a celebration of connection in a solitary time.

Published October 2023 by Audience Askew Chapbooks, Autumn in a Time of Solitary is available in the US here and available worldwide here.
