What is Window Left Open : Poems about?

The poppies are wild, they are only beautiful and tall so long as you do not cut them, they are like the feral cat who purrs and rubs against your leg but will scratch you if you touch back. Love is letting the world be half-tamed. --from "Poppies" In this lush, intricately crafted collection, Jennifer Grotz explores how we can become strange to ourselves through escape, isolation, desire--and by leaving the window open. These poems are full of the sensory pleasures of the natural world and a slowed-down concept of time as Grotz records the wonders of travel, a sojourn at a French monastery, and the translation of thoughts into words, words into another language, language into this remarkable poetry. Window Left Open is a beautiful and resounding book, one that traces simultaneously the intimacy and the vastness of the world.
