JOHN | ATTORNEY & POET

“Autumn can see a poem’s potential even when it’s still buried under layers that need to be stripped away or reworked, and her feedback —both technical and intuitive, and always thought-provoking— has been indispensable to me as the excavator of my own poems, helping me time and again to bring them out into the light. She’s the rare reader who doesn’t just make my poems better, but has also, over time, made me into a better writer of poetry.”
