Field Notes | Hunter's Moon

Field Notes' 72nd quarterly edition for the Fall of 2026 is “Hunter’s Moon,” named for the first full moon after the harvest. Known for the bright and warm light it casts on newly gleaned fields, the appearance of the Hunter’s Moon serves as a mindful call to prepare for the quieter months ahead. Light a candle and fill the pages of this 2-Pack, that includes a journal and sketchbook, with your autumnal words and images. Inspired in part by Ted Kooser’s lovely poem, “Abandoned Farmhouse,” artist Laura Weiler created the dream-like artwork for the covers using a unique gel plate method of monoprinting, layering collaged images, inks, and paints that are pressed and then transferred to paper.
