Windowpanes : Headmistress Press : 9781735823676 : 25 Aug 2022 : Winner of Sappho's Prize in Poetry With sharp and delicate exactness, Elizabeth Wilson gives us glimpses of desire in the poems of Windowpanes-pressing down hard with her words, as with small diamonds that etch memory into the glass of a window. Desire shimmers in these lines-hidden, doubled, queer, rejected, accepted, won, lost, longed for-in the angles of the words, the reflections of our own longing and loves. -Minnie Bruce Pratt, author of Crime Against Nature and Magnified Reading Elizabeth Wilson's Windowpanes is like coming upon a small, darkened chapel, one that seems almost too intimate to enter at first, though soon you find you can look out through every one of these stained glass windows, each an intensely colored moment in a heart's education. Sorrowing and reverent, elusive and clear-eyed, these hard-won poems are a remarkable work of attention. -Mark Doty, author of Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems
