Poesie von seltener Kühnheit" urteilte Louise Glück über den Franko-Amerikaner Henri Cole, der eine zentrale Stimme der amerikanischen Dichtung ist. Seine Verse, geschult an Kavafis und Bishop, sind gezeichnet von der heiteren Verzweiflung eines Zeitgenossen, der sich fragt, was das Wesen des Menschen noch ausmacht: ob er registriert, wie sich die Wochen recyceln, wie sich das Chaos von allein durchsortiert, oder ob er ein Foto entdeckt, auf d...

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...

To write what is human, not escapist, " is Henri Cole's endeavor.

This work, wrote Harold Bloom, "persuades me that Cole will be a central poet of his generation. The tradition of Wallace Stevens a...

These poems--often hovering within the realm of the sonnet--combine a delight in ...

Time was plunging forward, "like dolphins scissoring open water or like me, "following Jenny's flippers down to see the coral reef, "where the color of sand, sea and sky merged, "and it was as if that was all God wanted: "not a wife, a house or a position, "but a self, like a needle, pushing in a vein."-from "Olympia" In his fifth collection of verse, Henri Cole's melodious lines are written in an open style that is both erotic and visionary. ...
