Open Windows: Poems by Kristen Wisnewski. Mulberry Leaf Press. Available on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, May 7, 2026.
Open Windows: Poems is a collection that captures unique and poignant moments from a woman's journey of self-discovery and healing. In her debut book of poetry, Kristen Wisnewski acutely explores the inner strengths and resilience found within the themes of loss, love, and the re-defining of self-worth. In "This Old Life", she ponders what to do with family photos after a gray divorce. She contemplates the feelings of both grief and preciousness when sharing s dying parent's last day in "Bluebird". And in "Immersed" and "Indian Summer", she celebrates the joy and affirmation of finding new love late in life, of living with relish again, and of returning to a comfortable sense of self and purpose.
Through keen observation, witty wordplay, and multi-layered metaphor, her modern, free-verse poems resonate with often stunning candor and haunting clarity.
