A cool precision drives the diction throughout \u003cem\u003eWindows,\u003c\/em\u003e to melodious and prosperous ends, and the clarity of the moral vision contained there is unwavering. Relying not so much on the element of surprise as on the element of deep insight into the complicated offices of our lives, these poems have the edgy, almost cynical tone and feel of Zen-inspired poems, and in beautifully subtle ways, they are full of the Dharma.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e—Bruce Weigl, author of \u003cem\u003eAmong Elms, in Ambush\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003cem\u003eWindows\u003c\/em\u003e by Dennis Maloney opens with a type of meditation: ‘The glass pane of the window \/ serves to frame the view \/ within and without . . . This book is a window \/ looking out on a \/ shifting landscape.’ From there, the poet explores windows in the artwork of Hiroshige, Cézanne, Monet, Matisse–the windows we look out of daily, and the window of our individualism through which we each view the other. I have never read a poetry collection so perfectly centered around a singular metaphor. I am in awe.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e—Shaindel Beers, author of \u003cem\u003eSecure Your Own Mask\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40530745688087,"sku":"9781952335433","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/windows_1024x1024_d76e79a9-7fc8-4761-abf9-ab38e2bf7f78.jpg?v=1679183780","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/maloney-dennis-windowspb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
