Antony Di Nardo - Through Yonder Window Breaks

In this new collection, Di Nardo writes, “I’ve confused the words around my house // With the words inside my head.” These poems crack the light where windows appear, refract the one that burns in a poet’s imagination. The glow of sunlight, moonlight and all that they reveal is on display. These poems are curious about the natural world and interested in nurturing a relationship with it. Windows are “like jazz, they don’t discriminate between light and dark” – rather, they blend the two to syncopate within grey matter. And the reader, from line to line, poem to poem, can see right through that inner space.
