single window by Daniel Sluman

challenging emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

 Single Window is a collection of poetry interspersed with photos, a slender volume that packs a mighty punch. It is an unflinching portrayal of the reality of living with disability and centres on a year when the author and his girlfriend were effectively confined to their couch for 24 hours a day, cut off from the world except for what they could see through a single window. I suspect many readers will be shocked by the reality depicted in this collection. The power of some of the lines took my breath away. Yet somehow, amazingly, this collection is not all trauma and pain. Moments of beauty, joy, and especially love, have also been exquisitely captured.
