It is a moment when something is acknowledged, and often rightly, since the fact of finishing can be a moment of triumph, even beauty. It might instead be:įinishing, too, is a kind of visibility - isn’t it? It signals the end of something, and it often triggers a celebration. It might not be the visibility, the curated self moving through the curated world. Which might not be the party, the people. Perhaps that truth about our culture’s appetite for so much visibility is what makes the no that lands in the second line of today’s poem so jarring, especially for a poet who is as generous as Nye, a poet who wrote that happiness “flows out of you / into everything you touch.” But the no of the poem’s second line - though it might seem at first to be ungenerous - is actually a no of generosity, isn’t it? It is a generosity toward the self, a generosity that extends that same self the kindness to disappear into the world, into the soul, into whatever the body or mind or heart might need. This is the same world where, in “a culture with a seemingly insatiable appetite for self-promotion and exposure,” it is also true that “the human need to be seen has its limits.” I find myself thinking about such things often lately, in a world where, as Busch writes, “a new vocabulary has emerged for…visibility.” Optics. The nature of the subject makes it difficult to be comprehensive, but my hope is to compile a field guide to invisibility, one to reacquaint us with the possibilities of the unseen world, to reimagine and reengineer our place in it with greater engagement and creative participation.Īnd so, I find myself thinking about invisibility and disappearance today. It is not loneliness, solitude, secrecy, or silence. When Busch brings up this poem in her book, she writes: Such ideas, of flammability and littleness and smallness, feel so at the heart of Nye’s work, and they feel at the heart of today’s poem as well, a poem that perhaps urges the reader to make themselves as small as possible, to “become a cabbage” (an idea I find myself cherishing). But we're pleased to tell you they most certainly do exist and are unveiled here for the first time, almost 20 years after being committed to tape.Where there was something and suddenly isn’t,Īn absence shouts, celebrates, leaves a space.
