Forces of Imagination: Writing on Writing di Bhanu Kapil

This fascinating collection of essays by poet Barbara Guest looks at nature of art and poetry and discusses the idea of imagination in a poets life and work. Her style essays are often poetry in and of themselves, delving into strong form and powerful language to convey her ideas. This is a book that should really be read multiple times and discussed among a group, as her thoughts are open to multiple interpretations.

Herself Defined the Poet H D and Her World di Barbara Guest

One-sentence summary: Slightly disorganized but otherwise lovely biography of H.D.

Do you like the cover?: Yes -- I was reading from the now out-of-print hardcover edition, which uses a Swiss train advertisement from the '30s and '40s.

Did you enjoy the book?: Yes, very much so; overall, I like Guest's writing, although she is a bit disorganized and repetitive at times. But I really appreciate her attitude toward H.D. and her life.

Selected Poems of Barbara Guest di Barbara Guest

Ryan Murphy, author of Down With the Ship, on Barbara Guest's influence on his writing:

"...one of the things I thought that I would read a little bit of is Barbara Guest’s 'Red Lilies,' which is one of my favorite poems, and has certainly been a pretty direct influence on my writing.

[T]he reason that I want to read that poem, aside from the fact that it’s a pretty beautiful poem, is I have a poem called 'The Mingulay Boat Song,' [which] essentially takes its construction directly from 'Red Lilies.'"

The Countess from Minneapolis di Barbara GUEST

This seemed to me to be the poetic version of [[Gertrude Stein's]] [Three Lives]...and that's not a compliment. It seemed to relish being neither poetry or prose, and while I don't have a problem with a text working in that gray area, I do think there should be some reasoning that comes across, which didn't here outside of simple experimentation. While I enjoyed the language at times, it seemed fairly simple and straightforward prose at others without any real memorable moments. It was also difficult to get a feel for the context of the pieces, and as a whole, I felt dissatisfied at the end.… (altro)
