I think that Henri Cole is at the height of his maturity as a poet.
Cole tries to elicit the reader's sympathy under the pretense of writing nakedly; instead, Cole simply has settled into a repetitive style.
Cole tries to walk "on an edge," to fuse his metaphors into "one crystalline rock," but his self-indulgent, myopic posturing leaves one cold, "like ice in a champagne bucket."

 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 94023297   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The poems in Henri Cole's third book, The Look of Things, voice the tension between the social and the spiritual life, between the desire for company and for solitude, between youth and the ravages of disease, between the American and the exotic.
Cole treats these conflicting concerns in tones sometimes satiric, sometimes elegiac, sometimes ruefully self-deprecating, sometimes harrowingly tragic.
And Cole lifts the topics of everyday life into the symbolic order of reflection and structure without ever losing his awareness of their origins in the heart.

 Judy Lightfoot - review of Henri Cole's "Anatomy Lesson" (03/11/99)
In The Visible Man (Knopf, $22), HENRI COLE does to the sonnet what postmodern consciousness does to the self: he shatters it, sucks it dry, turns it inside-out, and--sometimes--holds it in a quiet embrace.
He is marble rubble, broken stanzas, scattered glimpses of porn flicks, moments of loveless fellatio under the pier.
The poet may refuse to flatter us with sweetness, but he can be very funny, mingling exquisite images with comic observation.

Then I discovered the work of Henri Cole, and for the first time, I understood what all those editors are on about.
Archibald MacLeish once wrote that “a poem should not mean, but be.” Cole, on the other hand, wants desperately to invest every word with meaning (instead of letting the words invest themselves with meaning, as any good poem does), and while in some existentialist sense they do achieve being, there is no life behind them.
The main problem here is that it seems Henri Cole has never met an image he liked.

In a poetry nervously alive to the maladies of the contemporary, yet suffused by a rare apprehension of the delights of the senses, Cole has relished the world while being unafraid to satirize it.
In poems that are both decorative and plain-spoken he permits his readers to share a keen and unsentimental view of the oddities, horrors, and solaces surrounding them at the end of the twentieth century.

One was Staff Sergeant Harrison Bell, whose bandaged head Cole cradled on his knee as he fed C rations to him, then carefully wiped his face."
