Come Now to the WindowAnn Iverson understands the poetic line. In Come Now To The Window, Iverson’s edgy, occasionally broken syntax is balanced with other lines spare and elegant. Her wisdom about her own poetics is matched by her abiding faith in her subjects — beloved, flawed family; animals wild and domestic; landscapes; the revelations found inside of changing seasons, dreams, and solitude.
