"A bold collection of poems of feral beauty and intense vulnerabilityHenri Cole's bold collection, Nothing to Declare, contains poems of feral beauty and intense vulnerability.

by Henri Cole
Paperback, 80 Pages, Published 2012 by Farrar, Straus And Giroux
ISBN-13: 978-0-374-53347-2, ISBN: 0-374-53347-4

"Henri Cole’s last three books have shown a continuously mounting talent. In his new book, Touch, written with an almost invisible but ever-present art, he continues to render his human topics—a mother’s death, a lover’s addiction, war—with a startling clarity. Cole’s new poems are impelled by a dark knowledge of the body—both its pleasures and its discontents—and they are written with an aesthetic asceticism in the service of truth. Alt ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-374-28448-0, ISBN: 0-374-28448-2

""To write what is human, not escapist," is Henri Cole's endeavor. In The Visible Man he 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 Stev ..."
