'Some minds have such gravity they can warp genre and form, space and time.  Such is the mind at work in Invisible Lives.  In these pages, what appear at first as fragments of memoir and lyric, travelogue and history, transform into a single galaxy where turn-of-the century chatrooms, the poetry of W.B. Yeats, New Jersey factories, Thomas Edison, and the Great Salt Lake are all manifestations of a unified field.  The lives Smith depicts are one life, harrowing, incredible but never tragic.  Invisible Lives is a force around which light bends and returns.'
