Invisible, Paperback/Jacek Gutorow

" Invisible is a teasing title for a collection of poetry. [Wallace] Stevens, with whose work Jacek Gutorow has a deep and sustained engagement, suggested in 'The Creations of Sound', that poems should 'make the visible a little hard / To see' [...] Both Gutorow and Stevens develop a poetic medium that maintains an oscillating dialectic between the seen and the unseen. The invisible operates not as an occlusion of reality, but as an aura saturating what is described; images are gently prised from the contexts of time and place and invested with a mysterious in-between life ..." - Mark Ford, from the Introduction to Invisible
