"An Autumn Invitation" by Edward Capern is a poetic work that has been beautifully brought to life by LibriVox volunteers in 18 recordings. Originally published as part of the Fortnightly Poetry project on October 21, 2018, this poem showcases Capern's talent and creativity. Capern, who worked as a letter-carrier for the Post Office in the mid-19th century, had a unique routine that allowed him time for his artistic pursuits. While waiting for two hours between his trips from Bideford to Appledore and later to Westleigh, he would write his poems. This special period of solitude and inspiration earned him the nickname "the Rural Postman of Bideford." "An Autumn Invitation" is just one example of Capern's poetic prowess and the dedication he had to his craft.
