About Big Windows:
"Lauren Moseley's Big Windows is a debut collection of elegant and flawlessly crafted meditations on domesticity that allow readers the charms of a perfectly framed view."
"Lauren Moseley is a keen, observant poet with a lyric gift for the music of poetry and a sense of narrative subtlety. The intense vision of Big Windows is clear from the first line of the first poem in the collection: 'I am drawn to the window as if it were a fire.' The transformations these poems accomplish are simply breathtaking. This is a fine, beautiful first book worthy of celebration."
"Like windows, 'glass drawing lines,' these poems give us a series of views, and place us always in at least two places at once, in here and, transported by the poet's vision and our own, beside ourselves and beyond."
