Seeing Voices: Poetry in Motion is a testament not only to Kelly Sargent's talents, but to the universal and unyielding power of modern poetry in general. It packs more emotional weight and eloquent writing than many much larger collections, too. From the lovely alliteration, freeing form, and personal touches of the first poem, Seeing Voices to the sumptuous repetition of Fruits of Labor and the concisely captivating Revelation, Sargent never fails to combine style and substance in equally commendable and characteristic ways. In Poetry in Motion, the final poem, she concludes: There are stories to tell. From start to finish, she tells some truly insightful ones here.

Kelly Sargent leads readers through joyful and, at times, heartbreaking reflections of what it means to see and hear the inner self. Her writing deeply explores language as movement, and each poem is a beautifully crafted vignette of imagination and searching. They envelop readers in a world of complex relationships and show us how to hold up a mirror to our memories and our identities with compassion and earnest wonder.

I adore the emotive imagery that Seeing Voices uses to convey not only the general difficulties of being a sibling, but close to one with the added adversity of being deaf. The clever conception of how eyes communicate in Night Vision also sets this poem apart. Each poem is a piece of Kelly Sargent's heart, honest and full of human emotions, and their originality is polished to perfection.
