葉嘉瑩（1924年 -），號迦陵，是聞名國際的詩詞專家，長年從事中國古典詩詞的教學與研究，然嘉瑩先生的文學道路實際上是由詩詞創作所開啟，她的創作集《迦陵詩詞稿》，收錄古近體詩近四百首，詞約百首，作品集中收錄最早的作品〈秋蝶〉一詩作於 15 歲。展讀嘉瑩先生的創作集，可以印證她每一階段的人生歷程，從少女時期在戰亂中喪母，來臺後青年丈夫遭遇白色恐怖變故，中年過後又痛失愛女，離鄉漂泊三十年備嘗挫折與苦難，然而面對苦難，詩人沒有缺席，《迦陵詩詞稿》中的詩詞作品實是詩人日常生活的自傳書寫，同時也是人生經歷和情志心境的真實紀錄。其中又以「秋」天為主題的作品數量最多，最能映照詩人隱微曲折的心境，本文要探討的重點是《迦陵詩詞稿》中的秋天詩詞呈現怎樣的秋容樣貌？其書寫特色為何？並深入了解嘉瑩先生詩詞道路之心理歷程，期望能從其人生遭遇及心理的調適，觀得其安頓生命的智慧。
