In Carey Link's \u003cem\u003eThrough the Kaleidoscope\u003c\/em\u003e, feelings tend to precede understanding. In a quiet \"fold\" and \"shifting,\" Link guides her reader through the sensually known realities of this world, such as bittersweet chocolate-raspberry. However, these concrete pieces are not a permanent destination. Link takes one further into her poetic imagination, primarily through the abstract in which the concrete images move. Like the kaleidoscope, Link does not lay out for the reader what mystery exists in the multi-colored lights. We must find it for ourselves, in her \"rounded puffs of breath,\" \"the colors of a whisper,\" \"the ghost\" we must let go\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarey Link lives in Huntsville, Alabama.
