One of the worlds most singular guitarists, Loren Connors has wrung distinct shades of ephemeral blues from his guitar, its sound evershifting while remaining unmistakably his own in more than 100 records across almost four decades.In the mid80s, Connors took a partial break from music and focused instead on the art of haiku, for which he received the Lafcadio Hearn Award in 1987. With his wife Suzanne Langille he also cowrote an article on blues and haiku, The Dancing Ear, published in the Haiku Society of Americas journal. It was during this period that Connors penned the material that appears in Autumns Sun, a chapbook first published by Thurston Moore and Byron Coleys Glass Eye in 1999. The text features diary excerpts from 1987, lyrically fragmented observations interspersed with haikulike poems that paint an idyllic impression of the passing seasons in his home of New Haven, Connecticut. With synesthetic perception, Connors gazes from tranquil domestic streets. Sycamore, elm, and catalpa trees are activated by the breeze and made to rustle in unison with their natural and artificial surroundings, including the howling dogs from which Connors derived his Mazzacane moniker. As summer fades to winter, Connors portrays death as an undramatic certitude, the flux of his own maturation reflected in musings on his sons. Like his music, Autumns Sun is tender without being sentimental, conjuring those rare, delicate moments when time stands still.This edition includes The Dancing Ear and an introduction by Lawrence Kumpf.
