Field Notes

Autumn Richardson is a Canadian poet and publisher. Her work grants quiet attention to the natural world, filtered through a prism of ecology, botanical medicine, mythology and esoteric philosophy. Contemplating landscapes as diverse as the vast northern boreal forests of Canada, the otherworldly karstic plateaus of western Ireland, the arid mountainous regions of Spain, and the ecologically devastated uplands of northern England, she lifts the occult or unseen to the reader's attention. In 2009 she co-founded Corbel Stone Press - one of the UK's foremost small presses dedicated to writing about landscape and nature - with her husband, the UK artist Richard Skelton. Her poetry and translations have appeared in numerous literary journals, pamphlets, anthologies and exhibitions in Canada, the UK, and internationally.
