Where are my window songs?

Where are my Window Songs? has not a word out of place. The phrases are limpid and shimmer with sensory details so that we encounter places, creatures and the persona of the poet as though in the flesh, meaning and metaphor held in the thingness of this carefully and beautifully drawn world. The natural world, memory, how we journey through life, find form in language that is apparently simple but always holds layers and depths. The poetry here is immersive and questioning, elegant and always perspective-altering, gently powerful, and bears reading again and again.Patricia Helen Wooldridge is the winner of the 2024, Rubery Book Award for best poetry book, a twice winner of the Cinnamon Literature Award and also won the Cinnamon pamphlet award. In Where are my Window Songs? she is writing at the height of her power.
