A sepia wash
as dawn is smothered by fog
and gums retain night
The author of the week is Jason Richardson, the main curator of the exhibition Crossing Streams which Naviar is co-curating: he’s currently writing a haiku each day this year, and this week’s poem is one of them.
Jason has been living in the Western Riverina region of NSW since 2009 and worked as curator at a community-run museum and with Landcare among others.
“I think it’s really important to give everyone the chance to engage with making art, rather than playing the role of audience.“ (Jason)
