About the Book

In Observing the Invisible, Kelly Cherry crafts poems that explore the ever-evolving realm of modern physics, confronting the invisibilities and mysteries of the material world. 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, Observing the Invisible 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.

PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR KELLY CHERRY

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.

--Lisel Mueller, author of Alive Together: New and Selected Poems, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry Her use of tradition and context are fresh, original, and provocative. It's hard to imagine not returning to the poems in this collection again and again for their beauty, honesty, and humanity.--Foreword Reviews I know of no other contemporary poet who has quite her gifts. Hers is a poetry of deep intellectual as well as emotional commitment, and this fact is insurance that her poetry will endure when so much unfocused effusion has collapsed into deserving dust. Hers is a passionate intellection, and she embodies it in a bright tough music no one else matches or even approaches.--Fred Chappell, former Poet Laureate of North Carolina and author of As If It Were She compels us to consider not only our condition as human beings but our responsibility to each other and our world. Cherry's work is a remarkable achievement.--The Journal
