Description
The Visible Man Poems by Henri Cole A deeply personal and unflinchingly honest collection of poetry, The Visible Man explores the complexities of human experience through thirty severe and fiercely truthful lyrics. Folding autobiography and memory into his work, Cole presents a constant tension between classical repose and the friction of life. This exuberant book is marked by its beautiful extension of the tradition of Wallace Stevens and Hart Crane, particularly in the magnificent sequence 'Apollo'. Keats' influence can also be seen throughout the collection, as Cole invokes these poetic predecessors with true aesthetic dignity. The result is a powerful and thought-provoking work that invites readers to engage with its unflinching truths. With 80 pages of poetry presented in a paperback edition, this book offers a unique opportunity for readers to experience Henri Cole's vision of the human condition.
