In \u003ci\u003eThe Visible Man \u003c\/i\u003ehe pursues his aim by folding autobiography and memory into the thirty severe and fiercely truthful lyrics--poems presenting a constant tension between classical repose and the friction of life--that make up this exuberant book. This work, wrote Harold Bloom, \"persuades me that Cole will be a central poet of his generation. The tradition of Wallace Stevens and Hart Crane is beautifully extended in \u003ci\u003eThe Visible Man\u003c\/i\u003e, particularly in the magnificent sequence 'Apollo.' Keats and Hart Crane are presences here, and Henri Cole invokes them with true aesthetic dignity, which is the mark of nearly every poem in \u003ci\u003eThe Visible Man\u003c\/i\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenri Cole \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in Fukuoka, Japan, and was raised in Virginia.
