Stepping over the gate into pastures afresh, The Birth of Autumn, the third full-length poetry book by Andy N, author of both 'Return to Kemptown' and 'The End of Summer' is a collection of poetry rooted in the exhilaration and the melancholy in the change of season that follows Summer. Told in sparse, tender brush-strokes, the book is as much a sequel to his previous book The End of Summer as a further exploration of life as well as the change of rural and agricultural rhythms of Autumn all wrapped in a whirl of emotions that follows at the end of one season that follows into the next. The Birth of Autumn is a book lost in shadows as the skies begin to darken slowly but also brings back beauty into your emotions, adventures into feelings and the leaves on the floor into a miraculously vibrant colour.
