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.
