Poetry. "Barbara Guest's poetry and her novel, SEEKING AIR, have been fundamental to my work and life for twenty years. Of late, her work increases in acceleration. QUILL, SOLITARY APPARITION is of perfect weight. The whole is on a blade. I feel the poetry moves beyond me and fills in where I will go"- Mei Mei Berssenbrugge.

(The Red Gaze is one long poem divided into smaller poems ...)
The Red Gaze is one long poem divided into smaller poems on imagination and time, beginning with "Nostalgia" and ending with "Supposition." Within the quietude of these poems, a gentle music unfurls; precise and generous. The idea of imagination propels The Red Gaze; references and allusions to art, literature, and history create what has become a signature of Barbara Guest's work - the poem as the event itself. There is something very immediate, alive, and mysterious about these poems. Reading, we inhabit the art - for a brief time suspended in its vision. Over the past decade, Guest has increasingly come to be seen as a major force in innovative poetics. These new poems are delicate, rarified, and unshakable.

Cultural Writing. From one of our most esteemed contemporary poets, a collection of essays about reading and poetics, written over many decades, and touching on many centuries. "We expect poets to give a first-hand account of what poetry is. But some poets, when they write criticism, produce a kind of prose that is itself on the verge of being poetry. Valery, Stevens and Marianne Moore belong to this "visionary company." And so does Barbara Guest, whose writings on poetry, collected here, are among the most inspiring works of their kind. It is a deep pleasure to know that such writing can still exist" --John Ashbery.

Poetry. "Lifts a spare shadow/ encircling vine,/ does not tarnish bauble/ from overseas and out of silver mine,/ drop in clamor and volume" ("Valorous Vine"). This new book is the first individual collection of poetry by Guest to be published in Britain. One of the last living representatives of New York School poetry, Guest's delicate imagery and enigmatic phrasing continue to produce work that is -- all at once -- widely appealing, wildly mysterious and wonderfully distinctive.

The definitive biography of Hilda Doolittle (aka H.D.), the Imagist poet whose work redefined the course of womens writing throughout the twentieth century. A woman of great beauty, H.D. enthralled the literary worlds of London and Paris and counted among her intimates such figures as Ezra Pound--to whom she was briefly engaged--William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore and D.H. Lawrence. Herself Defined not only helps to define this enigmatic force in modern literature and poetry, but also provides a fascinating glimpse into the heart and mind of an artist in her creative yet tormented search for self.

Poetry. " In this inspired collaboration all id fugitive, perishable, mortal - drawing one into the mind of pure longing as natural and imagined landscapes extend each other's tenuous fictions"-Kathleen Fraser.
