Summer was a project completed through May-June-July 2025. I filled a small A6 volume with poetry and some other things, printed and bound it. At the end of August, I edited and printed all three volumes together in a single, leather-bound volume.
Some of the material was seasonal. Most responded to things I’d read, seen, heard or experienced that month. These influences were listed in the work. As much as a project in self-publishing (and self-printing, and self-binding), Summer was a challenge to generate enough suitable material.
A PDF of the finished product can be found here.1 The codex format is important. You should view the PDF double-paged, with even pages to the left. Even better, you can download an imposed PDF here, and print and bind the book yourself.2

- Please don’t be cheeky with this material. It is offered in good faith, and you are welcome to do what you want with it, but please credit the author (me) when you do so. ↩︎
- Print double-sided on A4 paper, fold in half twice, and collect in gatherings of two. If that means nothing to you, do some experimentation! See Tools for some tools I commonly use. ↩︎
