Through a Window

Overview

Through a Window is not a spiritual quest as much as reading the thrust of short, poetic lines into a “factual factual / world”. Leaning forward into the language of landscape and drawing back into thought, Fischer’s poetry finds itself more realized through connecting inside and outside than either singularity can opine.
