<p><i>The poppies are wild, they are only beautiful and tall<br>so long as you do not cut them,<br>they are like the feral cat who purrs and rubs against your leg<br>but will scratch you if you touch back.<br>Love is letting the world be half-tamed.</i><br>--from "Poppies"<br><br>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. <i>Window Left Open</i> is a beautiful and resounding book, one that traces simultaneously the intimacy and the vastness of the world.</p>
