Tiny Windows

by Duncan McNaughton

Writing in the Boston Review, literary critic Benjamin Hollander described the work in TINY WINDOWS as follows:
“McNaughton’s poems call us: from one to another they visit us from everywhere, almost at once. They look out. They tour, they span. They evoke multiple times and moods and geographies and jargons and voices. We are brought into the middle of micro-encounters and conversations we had not previously suspected we were a part of, implicated in someone else’s arrival in the poem. The feel at times is light and joking, at times cosmographical and existential—the species’ psychological and social landscapes on view, on call.”
