Barbara Guest wrote experimental poetry associated with the New York School, with a particular interest in visual art, abstraction and the relation between image and language. Collections such as The Location of Things and Fair Realism move through fragments, shifting perspectives and painterly description rather than straightforward narrative. She also wrote Seeking Air and a biography of the poet H.D. Guest's poems are often spacious and oblique, asking readers to follow rhythm, image and conceptual movement without expecting a stable speaker or story. Her work suits readers of experimental American poetry, ekphrasis and modernist writing shaped by painting and visual composition. Read more Less
