Poetry. NOTATIONS ON THE VISIBLE WORLD, Kathleen Wakefield's debut collection, won the 1999 Anhinga Prize for Poetry. NOTATIONS ON THE VISIBLE WORLD is a spiritual quest characterized by the continual pull toward abstract faith and the opposite attraction of the real -- and difficult -- world...Wakefield sings alto to the melody of the natural world, finding the 'shadows ornamenting shadows' in our daily ministrations -- Judith Kitchen, 1999 Judge, Anhinga Prize for Poetry. It is a solid collection, placing Kathleen Wakefield in that select group of contemporary poes -- Gerald Stern and Charles Wright among them -- with an intimate handle on nature: even the darkest images are charged with a sense of joy, a soft light to show us how elegant American poetry can be -- Dionisio D. Martinez
