From the Back Cover

Windows is Robert Creeley's first collection of poems since Memory Gardens (1986). It marks, as its title implies, a framing of realities that is neither simply passive nor reflective. For Creeley, age and travel have served to highlight the foreignness of everyday circumstances, so that the window-passages between 'inside' and 'out' have become increasingly more necessary for survival.
