AllMusic

Poet in My Window is singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith's second album. This album is in the folk music style preceding her next two albums that are more in the country music genre. A later release of the album included a bonus track, "Can't Love Wrong," in the unusual position as the album's lead-off track, preceding all of the original tracks. Griffith wrote all but one of the album's tunes.
