Poet in My Window is the second studio album by the singer-songwriter Nanci Griffith, released in 1982.[6][7] A reissue 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.[8] Griffith wrote all but one of the album's tunes.

Critical reception[edit]

Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., for AllMusic, wrote that "While Poet in My Window is only a small step up from Nanci Griffith's debut, the album finds her inching toward the mature art of Once in a Very Blue Moon."[2]
