She leverages challenging ideas into a space of contemplative wonder as the book moves from external observation into an increasingly inward space of personal reflection and expression. Throughout, \u003ci\u003eObserving the Invisible\u003c\/i\u003e remains deliberate in its concentration on what cannot be, almost as if the poems are being erased even as they are being written. Acknowledging that such contradictions cannot sustain themselves for long, Cherry seeks out these difficulties and ultimately finds resolutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREVIOUS PRAISE FOR KELLY CHERRY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Kelly Cherry takes on what few contemporary poets are willing to: the ways and hows of human existence, in both personal and historical terms. The common denominator is the sensibility of a poet for whom all human perceptions, whether of inner experience or external things, turn into metaphor; that is to say, a language of meaning through connection.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003c\/b\u003eLisel Mueller, author of \u003ci\u003eAlive Together: New and Selected Poems, \u003c\/i\u003ewinner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Her use of tradition and context are fresh, original, and provocative.
