George Looney’s 8th book of poetry—Meditations Before the Windows Fail—will be published by Lost Horse Press in the fall of 2015. A finalist for the Idaho Prize, the title is derived from the epigraph to the book, from Emily Dickinson: “And then the windows failed—and then/I could not see to see.”
“This collection,” says Looney, “is a series of—for me, at least—brief meditations on love and longing and the distances involved.” Some of the poems have appeared in such journals as The Southern Review, The Laurel Review, The Florida Review, Belleview Literary Journal, Cimarron Review, Third Coast, The Chariton Review, The Journal, American Literary Review, Puerto del Sol, Bateau, and others
